To only use 10 websites when the whole internet is out there.

I've been reviewing my browsing history and it is truly sad. My leisure use of the internet consists of about 10 websites that I use regularly.

Am I the only one?

Has any one got any great recommendations for interesting and useful websites?

I only use half that. I still spend too much time online

Well how diverse are those 10? How exciting? I have no idea how many i use cos I Google stuff a lot so use random sites ad hoc but regular use - couple of social media, couple for my volunteer work. I think 10 you use a lot is probably pretty decebt

I have a core 6 or 7 (6-7!! Sorry, I can hear my students shouting!) then I flit about on my phones homepage at other articles that pique my interest, or friends/DH have sent. Lots of hitting IMDb when I'm watching the telly 😄

I think that's fairly normal.

Hmmm... I've never really thought about the range (or lack of range) of websites I visit.
-Google
-Mumsnet
-Ravelry (knitting & crochet forum/pattern database)
Until recently, Facebook and Instagram (via app) but I've uninstalled them
-Amazon
-BBC
-YouTube
-MET Office
-Wikipedia

I don't think there are many others I visit regularly. Tbh I'm not looking for more. I spend more than enough time on my phone as it is!

Mumsnet, Guardian, Facebook, Blue sky, Ecosia search, XCWeather, Google maps...that's about it really. I learn a lot from those though.

So my 10 are mumsnet, amazon, ebay, imdb, bbc, youtube, google, facebook and a couple of newspaper sites.

Like another poster, I spend way too much time online even with this sparse website selection.

I need to explore further than this - or alternatively I need to spend much less time online (and on mumsnet)

I quite enjoy bored panda & post secret for some light reading. I definitely don't go on more than 10 websites
