You have to do a little self-brainwashing. You choose something else that you think is a greater priority than Mudcat surfing, and each time you find yourself thinking of logging onto the Mudcat, you make yourself do the other activity instead. Before the interent, I once had a habit of turning on the tv or picking up the phone to chat automatically when I came home from work. I taped notes on the tv and phone that said "Studio!", so I would go there to paint instead. ( I think I need to add this habit breaker to when I'm about to choose the Mudcat bookmark.) Whatever you do, don't make Mudcat your start-up page.
