Google Reader
I have tried RSS feeds before -- where you type in a list of the blogs you read and supposedly the thing magically checks for updates and lets you know when a blog has been updated. Supposed to save time. Great in theory. Except I was getting notifications two or three days AFTER someone had posted and I had missed big news (like a baby birth --UGH) or a chance to serve. So I abandoned it.
Enter Google Reader. It works the same way, but this one WORKS. It updates it instantly. Saves me surfing through my list of 20+ blogs when I am bored. I have no excuse to sit at my computer and stalk my friends. Google Reader tell me (in not so many words) to get off my butt and be productive because that's what all my friends are doing -- hence the lack of updates. This is going to help me. Alot. I can tell.
So I'm off to do laundry since there are no new blogs to read.

Okay, I need something like this, like yesterday! I too have a problem with sitting down at my computer when I am bored. Even when I'm not bored, but just lazy. I thought that by not commenting so much and by not allowing my blog to receive comments that I would not be so apt to read blogs or check my email...and it worked for a while, but now I'm back to my same habits and checking in with my friends more than I should be. I love you all, but I have laundry to do!!! And kids. They kind of like it when I spend time with them :) So, I will be signing up for this too, thanks for sharing.
Sounds like a good idea, thanks for sharing!
