MzJello, maybe you can write up a formal "experiment" to check out how PC affects you and your life? I have found that if I come on PC first thing, I have more trouble getting off than if I do something else and then come on PC. If I "reward" myself with being online and alternate work, online, work, online; that often works well too.

But if you have a plan on how to go about checking out PC then you'd pay attention to the plan and not resent it at the same time? You'd be writing (somewhere else :-) about how you felt wanting to be on PC when you were doing X but how you enjoyed doing Y and didn't miss PC and notes of that sort without having to be on PC. You could use PC as a "hub" in other words and not "know" that you weren't actually on PC because it would be in your thoughts and your other work would revolve around your experiment/experience.
