It is not for nothing that there is a date called "a day without the Internet." On January 26, users of the World Wide Web turn off their computers and go into "real life." In order to get rid of Internet addiction, you can use simple rules.
- The drastic way is to turn off the internet. If the willpower is not strong enough to restrict Internet access, then there are special programs at your service, such as iNet Protector, Time Boss and others. They can be configured in such a way that after a certain time the Internet access will be blocked. Similarly, you can restrict visits to some sites that "eat up" a lot of your time.
- Another effective way is to draw up a daily routine and, of course, follow it. He will help you achieve your goals. A competent distribution of time will not allow thoughtlessly "surfing" the Internet.
- It's important that your day doesn't start or end with a monitor. After you wake up, go without a computer for a while. It is also important that the last thing before going to bed is not to turn off your PC's power button. When your computer is constantly on, it creates an attention trap. Because of this, the first thing that comes to your mind is to listen to music, watch a movie or something like that, and not do something really important to you.
- It takes motivation to reduce the time spent on the Internet. Create a list of fun things you can do when you are off the net. This can be visiting theaters, museums, traveling, meeting friends, walking.
- It's not for nothing that social networks are called “networks”. Think about it. Without constantly looking at the news feed, you will be surprised to understand where so much time goes.
- Limit email checking to one time per day. Your friends and colleagues will understand you. This will bring order to your workflow.
- If you like a person in an online game, social network or dating site, then try to translate your communication into real life. It is much more pleasant to be near a living person than with a luminous monitor.
- Think about your hobby that you gave up when you began to spend a lot of time on the Internet. Live the real life! We have one and flies by day after day, while we are in a non-existent reality.
