Is Facebook a big time waster for you? How about the TV and those 10 hour marathons of whatever trashy show you hate to admit you’re addicted to? Whatever it is, don’t lie to yourself and say “oh I’m sure I can avoid it for a couple of hours.” REMOVE the temptation! For instance, if Facebook is your addiction, don’t study at your computer, or even near it, or even in the same room as it. If you are writing a paper and you have to use your laptop, turn off the internet connection. Yes, you very easily could just turn it back on, but at that point you are making a conscious decision to do so. If it’s something other than Facebook or the TV, the simple answer is to put as many obstacles between you and your time wasting entity as possible. Make it difficult for you to access that particular thing. Don’t trust your will power! We are all weak in the face of our seemingly harmless addictions! Wii anyone?
Stay curious,
