The plan: 2 months ago

I spend most of my time on the net now, and normally skip or forget about important tasks (assignments, etc)
so what i’m gonna make a random 10 digit code my password, and then write it down on a piece of paper (without memorizing it). I’ll give the piece of paper to one of my friends so that i can’t go on the computer at home (because i won’t have the code), forcing me to do PRODUCTIVE stuff :D.
basically i’m gonna force myself to cut the net cold turkey with no alternative. What are you gonna do now, future me?



I've Got A Plan 5 months ago

This is my new plan, and it’s worked for one day so far.

Here it is: (I have a laptop) physically remove your computer and put it away. It’s my newest goal during the week to not use my computer until say, past 9 o’ clock when I’ve at least done some work.

I guess if you have a desktop computer, take out one of the key plugs and physically disconnect it (make sure you know how to put it back :P) and then place it in a drawer.

I guess ‘reaching this goal’ for me is cutting internet/computer use to less than thirty minutes a day. For now. If that works then we could see a big improvement in my studies and my creative pursuits instead of hours in front of the internet.

I spend waaaaaay too much time on the internet. If it’s not youtube or facebook, it’s poker (which is really really reaaaalllllyyyy time consuming). I’ve already tried to implement a curfew for computer use (can’t use the internet before 9:00) but the problem is I’ll keep on going after this.

At least I get work done before I start, but it’s definitely a problem and I hope it’s not making me depressed/unfulfilled/whatever.

I definitely have other hobbies but it’s kind of like I’m obliged after I don’t have anything to do to go to the computer and just sit. Well, at least I need to stop spending away hours playing poker and do something more productive, that way it’s so much more satisfying.

I spend all day and night on the Internet... 6 months ago

I have to stop. :S



Gotta put the brakes on this 10 months ago

I spend way too much time on the internet, especially youtube. What’s worse, it cuts into the time that I need to accomplish my other goals such as reading or practicing the piano.

If only I could find a computer program that could (1) keep track of my internet habits, (2) a timer that would alert me when I’ve spent too much time on the computer, (3) or both!

The Internet is my downfall. 12 months ago

Every day I come home from school and spend two hours on the internet. I read fan fiction, explore wikihow or deviantart, watch free online moview in crappy resolution, basically waste my time.

I have depression, and these sort of escapist activities destroy me. I need to be out in the world doing stuff, meeting people, volunteering, etc. So we’ll see how this goal gos.



Instead of changing yourself, change your environment 13 months ago

So, I am reading a novel/self-help style book where Ganesha, the elephant god, tells the main character that he cannot change his state of mind. Even if he gives up TV and reads a book, sure enough, a few weeks later, he will be watching TV again. So instead of changing himself, which is impossible, Ganesha tells him to change his environment. In the book, the character throws out his couch, so that he breaks his habit of coming home from work and sitting on the couch and watching TV.

I am thinking about moving the chair in front of my computer somewhere else, so that anytime I try to use the internet, it will be very uncomfortable to do so.

I want to give it up, NOW DAM IT! I am addicted to hentai porn and masturbate almost everyday for years now, except for the couple of times I went for a week. That bad. I’m now a pale white guy with no muscles, no friends, no life, and acne.

I first wanted to just get ride the my acne, which ive had since 12, and found out that masturbation causes a hormone imbalance which causes acne. I figure if I can stop masturbating long enough I can balance my hormones, get rid of my acne, get some sunlight, and get back on track with my life.

I no longer feel as much of a need to be on the computer all the time, I’ve been reading instead, which is much more constructive. I am so close to accomplishing this goal, I just know it : )
