Today I realized how much time a day is spent on the computer. For me, it's probably 4 hours at least. So I thought it might be a good idea to use the situation to my advantage. Here is a quick wallpaper I made to remind me to be aware and do a reality check. It may help, don't know yet! Thought I'd share.:)

Pretty cool, that's a really good idea!
Thanks! This will help me, a lot. :P
How about if you never see your desktop? :lol: I usually never see it, I have all the stuff minimized.
It's a very good idea. Believe me guys, I have been doing this for a while now. It pulled me put of my dry spell, and I became lucid by looking at that wallpaper on my mobile (though it SHOULD have been on my desktop) quite a few times. But that eye creeps me out. I like the red theme, but the eye is just.......creepy. Try to make a picture that's more pleasant to look at. Oh wait, why don't you guys just take a fancy picture and edit it with Paint? It's pretty simple to add text to an image.
OK. I will do something fancy and not creepy :) I will upload tonight or tomorrow (if I have cards tonight :P)
Good idea, could potentially work for some. Welcome to the forum. Thumbs up.

Could you make it a little smaller so it fits my screen perfectly? It cuts off right before the "G".

Sorry. cards tonight :lol: Tomorrow I will make it.
Actually, I think the creepiness of it adds to the effectiveness. If you just have something ignorable for the background image, it probably won't stick out in your mind enough to do much good. But something like the eye, well...that's gonna stick in my mind for sure!
^ OMG the whole night?! :D
But seriously, the eye is fucking up my mind. Here is my contribution:

Just click on the link and you'll be taken to the album.
Just made the eye the background for my iPod. Great idea!
My summer days usually consist of me sitting here lol. Just made it my wallpaper for my computer and my phone thanks.
I would love to try this out but... the link doesn't seem to be working :eek:.
Link works fine for me; just tried it. Maybe the server was just temporarily down or something.Quote:

Thanks for this idea! I have the mountains as my desktop now. I try to look at it once every couple of minutes to try to put it in my mind. I'll let you know if it helps any. At this point, I'll try anything.
Just got back on here after a little break. Glad to see most of you seem to enjoy and find it useful! I know, I made the wallpaper with the intention of attracting attention. (The eye and red colors.) I don't find it creepy at all, just engaging. But it's the idea that counts. Happy dreaming!
For some of you, here is a more... peaceful wallpaper. It's 1920 x 1200, so you might have to downsize to your needs. I also took the photograph, so it's 100% free use. http://i46.tinypic.com/2nlu0yb.jpg
How 'bout tattooing it on your body or something? :D
I'm a grammar Nazi... The lack of capitalization bugs me.
Anyone got a quite dark coloured wallpaper pic like this? Blacks, greys and white? It would fit the rest of my themes on my pc/ipod :) i would take one myself, but im awful at photography lol :P a nice one to do would be a lit candle on a pitch black background, always liked stuff like that, eerie yet beautiful :) any, il stop rambling, thanks in advance :)
