Completely agree. I have wasted a lot of time surfing boards. I do a lot less these days. Pop in as you said, once work is done, when I am having fun.

I have learned a lot from boards, but I think a person hits a point when it becomes less informative and more social. This is not a bad thing, yet dicipline is a must.

I also will turn off icq, skype, etc when I am really trying to work, or at least throw up an away msg.

Distractions can be a real time killer. I don't think boards have hindered my success any, just my own lack of dicipline in the beginning, but you do raise a good point, I'll be curious to see what others offer.
