Interesting. Re: phone timewasting, I've found having a crappy phone with a slow data connection helpful for avoiding this. Also saves money. (I have a Kyocera Event on Virgin Mobile's Beyond Talk plan, FWIW.)

I do enjoy timewasting, and I want to continue to do some amount of it. For example, I count reading facebook, lesswrong, people's blog posts, etc in this category, and if I stopped doing that I would feel both less connected to my friends and less engaged with the world's ideas. But the marginal returns diminish, as always, and sometimes I do it when I should be doing something else.
