I have found myself on Lonely Island. I restricted myself to only communicating through email; but no one checks their emails to organise coffee dates or ask what time they'll be home for dinner! I have even found myself procrastinating work by scrolling through news websites or academic sources (totally irrelevant to my deadlines) just to entertain myself.
