By the moment, I have a lot of things to do, yet I keep wasting time coming here, talking to online friends, watching porn, installing Gentoo, and watching YouTube. It's an addiction already. I've tried to stop doing all of them, but I still keep making the same mistakes. I'm wasting so much time, and life is getting worse and worse, even though I know I can stop it if I stop getting distracted. It feels like a disease; I simply can't focus on the stuff I need to do.I'm not a NEET, but I'll become one soon if I don't stop myself.
>>31136588Well, there's a lot of ways depending on how committed you are. I'm much the same way and here's what worked for me:1) Come up with a plan. Consider the below, evaluate what is/isn't feasible for you, then decide what you're doing and to what degree. 2) Tell friends/family your plan, and how they can reach you. Generally, they'll be understanding/suppotive if they know you aren't ditching them. If they aren't...reevaluate if they're worth keeping in your orbit. Uninstal problem programs (ex discord/steam) from you computer. Put website you don't want to got to (like here) on your browser's block list. Get a trusted friend to set up parental controls for your devices to ensure you have hard limits.Downgrade from a smart phone to a flip phone.If you keep a smartphone, uninstal time vampire apps, set the color to grayscale, turn off app notifications or pay for an app that converts all GUIs into lines of white test on a black background. Nuke your social media accounts.If you do go on these programs/website, allot yourself a set amount of time on a set day WITH an alarm.I've done all of the above over the years as best my life situation allows and they've all worked well. Just deleating Discord, my socials, and putting a 1h a week cap on this place nearly doubled the time I had to do other stuff.
>>31136682Thanks a lot, anon. I just woke up, so this explains the delay. Many of you said I have tried, but it's never too late for a second chance, I guess. I'm glad it worked for you.
>>31137003No problemo. The biggest thing is persistence. Like with breaking any habit it's going to take a while (like months/years) before it really sticks. Backsliding from time to time is normal and nothing to be ashamed of. Just recognize it, reset, and try again. One other thing, if the big sweeping stuff just isn't working, try to do it in bites. Ex: look at how much time you're on your phone and then try to do 5min less a day. Go for a week, then shave down another 5. Continue until you get to where you want. Also app/screen/program timers are a big help too.You got this!
>>31136588There is nothing out there for us in the world anymore. We have no power, all we can do is shitpost here until the very end.It's over
