Turn the computer off. Do something else, anything.

There's nothing wrong with using a computer to kill some time, but as with everything else in the world, moderation is the key. I couldn't live without a computer anymore. I always watch 1 or 2 episodes from a series in the evening, but when I get swamped with commercials, I get the same feeling that I'm wasting time. So for that, thank god there's netflix!
If you have a phone or tablet that's full of apps for facebook, twitter and so on, simply remove the apps. It is a bit of a habbit to get behind a computer, or call it an addiction, and it takes some conscious effort to make a change. I suggest you just make sure that you don't have "empty time" in which you are drawn to your technology. Pick up a hobby, go do a sport, build a model plane, spend some time with the kids, cook something, call someone instead of updating your status message, write in a diary, paint, read a book, do some gardening and grow your own veggies, go take the dog for a walk, play a board game with some friends... there's so much to do that it can't be that hard to shift your focus away from your computer / mobile. I could go on and on, and if you think about it, all these things are either more productive, healthier, more social than staring at a screen. The biggest problem is, if you're hooked, you really have to make a conscious effort. Don't throw out all technology, but set a time for example that you can only spend time online between 8 and 9, and you have to prioritize and ditch the unproductive things you used to do... facebook/twitter/aimless surfing/going from one youtube to the next/click-a-d-click. |

Burn all your movies, videos, and entertainment material to external drive; and free these from your local drive.

You might love to check this an amazing Google Chrome Extension i.e. Stay Focused which is not really helpful in case of Facebook, but other social sites too
StayFocusd is a productivity extension for Google Chrome which let you stay focused on work by restricting the amount of time you can spend on time-wasting websites. Once the time which you allotted for a particular website is up, the website which is blocked by you become inaccessible for the rest of the day. |
