My main rig is a haswell i5, do I qualify?
Well, the idea is to challenge yourself in some way. It's not going to be much fun, if you just keep using your every day machine.

Others limit/allocate their time spent on a computer/internet a day.

This is a healthy idea... But its so hot outside. Maybe I should dedicate time to napping.
