Maintaining my website is quite a bit like nurturing a bonsai tree: I'm constantly fretting over it, trimming redundant links, tweaking the text, rearranging the layout, etc. Slaving over my site may be more therapeutic than harmful. I'm reminded of the uploaded denizens of Greg Egan's "Permutation City," who can literally edit themselves to conscious specifications. Lacking that ability, modifying my online presence is the closest I can get: an illusion of self-control.
