I'm starting to reconsider my Internet habits. What is the maximum amount of time one should limit their computer usage to in order to stay healthy? How long do you spend on the computer on a weekly basis?

This is a rather subjective question... it will depend on your personal situation. Keep these things in mind when determining your situation: 1. Is my internet usage infringing on my exercise time? 2. Is my internet usage infringing on time with my friends/family/spouse/loved ones? 3. Is my internet usage coming before going out and being in social situations? 4. Is my internet usage well spent/useful/beneficial? 5. Is my internet usage keeping me from completing my work/necessary tasks/job/education? These are some of the principles I use personally when limiting my internet time. I generally use the standard that I will only spend between an hour and an hour and a half a day (my schedule allows for it) and no more outside of using the internet for work/school/research related tasks. Take these into consideration and determine your own time, the key is not to let it infringe on other things. Contemplate a hobby or another activity you could do otherwise. Use your discretion and common sense.

I agree w/ Evangle---if your computer time is keeping you from daily responsibilities. It is too much. Make a conscience choice to limit our time by scheduling your daily activities and planning your day. Be productive--not reactive.
