I check social media on occasional basis throughout the day as a bit of a reward -- finish editing a chapter, take a few minutes to see what's up on FB, etc. You're right about it being a necessity for an indie author and about it being an addictive time suck. While I sometimes spend too much time 'maintaining my author platform,' this dribs and drabs reward system seems to work reasonably well for me.
I like the reward system.
For a time I was turning off the browser before working. Perhaps I'll return to that.
The reward system sounds good and is a great motivator. You know what you will get once you're finished, AND, once you get into your story, you get lost in that and before too long, that work is done (a reward unto itself) Getting to PLAY on Facebook, etc... is icing on the cake.
Now I should practice what I preach! I have writing and a research project I want to dig into.... Unfortunately, my story is on a blogger page.
Answer.... I should create all my work as documents first, thereby minimizing the need for internet access. My timing seriously needs work!
