Twitter is awesome, let’s get that straight. But sometimes, it really draws you in and takes you away from getting things done.
So, how do you keep Twitter at bay? Here are a 5 things that I do to preserve sanity:

I actually get less work done when twitter is down... a lot of the great things I read all day come from it - Twitter being down hurts my learning... not to mention I keep hitting the refresh button every so often in hopes of it being up.
I think twitter on a seperate monitor running an auto refresh every 5min or so would be sweet. I may just have to implement that.
Twitter --> me = Hawaiian punch --> 7 yr old.
(i wouldn't blame it all on twitter) :P
Twitters down but Lost is coming on in an hour. So either way I get no work done.
Some of us have found that a good way to maintain productivity is to never sign up for Twitter in the first place. :-)
OK, that was easy. Firefox plugin... https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/115
After install you can setup twitter page to reload at preset intervals, working well for me so far.
@Wingnut: yeah, I see you Twitter all day long. But hey, I'm guilty of the same :)
@planetc1: cool plugin and useful for what you're saying. Personally, I use Twitterfox. With that, you can have it pop up with every update (read: annoying) or you can just watch the statusbar and see the number of tweets in your stream increasing.
@SearchBuzz: just as long as you don't turn red and break through walls saying Oh, Yeah!, that's perfectly normal :)
@Halfdeck: exactly. How can people be expected to work in times like these?
@MattMcGee: you say that now. But we will bring you to the dark side. It is only a matter of time. :)
The dark side..lol
Tweet demon possessed
I'm not getting the best out of that medium at the moment.
I find some of the way it works to be very puzzling
twitter downs are getting more frequent!!
Thank you for the tips. True, I have to spend time for Twitter eveyday for my tweets and replies to followers tweets.
