Late nights, early mornings, lunch breaks, coffee breaks, weekends, some of us seem to be addicted. So what are some of the warning signs?

I check it at least twice a day but only on here for 10-20 min. Been busy lately so I have cut the time down because of work and another training class cycle is about to start up this week. Great site indeed.

I was able to squeeze in a few more minutes. She will probably counsel me on disobeying her order. Here she comes

When you are willing to scroll through the who is connected to whom, who updated their profile, and who changed their profile picture to see the recent/new forum notifications.

Hopefully, I'm not being too serious.

1. When you start scouring the internet for items to post. I've have a collection of memes and cartoons ready for posting. You also look for "articles of opportunity" to post.
2. When it interferes with your other activities. Even though I am retired, I still have other projects that require attention.
3. When it disrupts you sleep.
4. When it is no longer enjoyable.
5. If you think you're spending too much time on RP (or any other social media site), you probably are spending too much time on social media.

Rally Point is a great site. I can thank RP for reducing my time on Facebook. Definitely, a wider variety of perspectives on RP. However, like any other social media site, it is a tool. Tools can be misused.

I managed to put myself on a Rally Point diet. After work hours only.

I used to do my primary interaction with former/current service members on FB. Since coming here and getting involved, I spend so much less time on FB. I actually prefer the conversations here.
