Man, that is such a great idea! This will definitely help me get my NaNoWriMo word count back up, and help me stay focused on other projects as well

Yet again a great comic. Seems to be really needed these days, You really do see couples/friends like those in the 13th (?) strip, sitting together but not saying a word to each other.. well, not verbally anyway, they might be chatting through the phones! Now that's a sad thought.. :/ But anyway, great insight again, lovely work!

How do you handle things like facebook, though! 
π: 0 β©: 1
What I do is have all my social media send notifications of messages to my email-- and then just check my email once a day. With facebook you can often talk to people just by emailing your replies back-- you don't even have to go on facebook and get distracted!

Let me know how it goes! I find it takes a bit of practice-- it's a skill, just like drawing.

Let me know how it works! The phone's a tricky puzzle to solve because it's with you everywhere...

If you mean sinking your bookmarks between your phone and computer you can use the Chrome browser for that,
it sinks bookmarks between all chrome based browsers logged in to the same account if you have the setting enabled.
I hope this helped, if not I'm sorry for wasting your time.

wow thank you so much, i have an android phone so i'm certain that the chrome browser shouldn't be an issue. in fact i should have made the switch already. i'll take your wonderful advice and except to see an improvement in productivity for sure!

You are more then welcome.
Remember to import your bookmarks when you switch over on your computer so you don't lose any of them.
A little warning about the sinking of bookmarks, if the versions on your phone and computer aren't the same the bookmarks won't sink,Β its a easy fix just update both of them.
I also recommend the chrome Extensions called "dAΒ Message Notifier" and "Hover Zoom" both are quiteΒ usefulΒ for dA users.

I absolutely admire your comics. They're a great source of help and entertainment at the same time.

Thank you so much for your comics! They have always been really thoughtful and have helped me out quite a bit!! 
Oh, and I officially need the line "When I'm done with a bookmark, I delete it." on my wall! XD

Ha ha-- I totally am a bookmark packrat-- I really need to clean that mess up...
