What’s the Best Way to Beat Internet Addiction?
Question by the last ninja: What’s the best way to beat internet addiction?
It’s the new year and resolution time again, and more specifically, it’s break-your-resolution time again as well. And I already have.
I know this is a difficult question, and everyone’s different blah blah blah. And I see the irony in asking how to beat internet addiction in an online forum. I just wanted any tips from people who have learnt to control the amount of time they spend on the net.
A little background and context. I’m naturally a tech geek. I’m also addicted to information and read many blogs regularly, constantly surf wikipedia, BBC news. I have god knows how many RSS feeds in my feed reader. And of course I waste even more time on Y!Answers and Y!360.
However, I can’t just switch off my computer, or remove my broadband connection. I’m a PhD student and I need the connection and access to actually do my work (and I do have to do a lot of work at home).
Ideas?
