No Internet challenge

I will be short and straight to the point. Infornography, scrolling reddit, news, forums and the likes is a waste of time, build bad habits (relying on instant gratification) and is just bad. I will break this habit.

Rules:
I can't use the internet for purposes outside of work and only when it is justified and needed (e.g Google maps to go somewhere)

Exceptions:
If a friend or someone I know wants to show me a webpage or something like that, it doesn't reset the days counter. Not like it happens often, but we never know.

Let's go!

Hello, and welcome to the forums!

I find cutting back on my social media has helped me a lot.

Day 0:
Damn I gave in yesterday and wasted half of my day on reddit and pointless websites. I will need to be more careful, take it more seriously and have stronger discipline and willpower

Day 0:
Damn wasn't perfect either yesterday. I think that I will finally nail it today and for the following days, I think that I found some ways to deal with my urges (walking around, breathing, relaxing and so on)

Welcome Tetrant !

Internet addiction is a hard thing to kick but with practice , you can manage your time online in a healthy way . Having a plan helps a lot . Maybe you could try a few different things like :

Scheduling internet time for 1-2 hours in the morning and using a timer . I found that if I start surfing the web after dinner then I'm on it until I go to bed . It's easier to shut it down in the daytime when I know I have things to do .

Get back to reading books ! This one helps me a lot .

Start a pre-bedtime ritual . Some light exercise , a relaxing bath , an hour or two of reading a book or prepping for the next day . I choose my clothes for work and make sure they're laid out for the morning . I also don't go to bed with dishes in the sink .

Rainy days and winter are hard for me though .
