I don't spend that much time on it, on purpose, but I think there's few things that I find as interesting as browsing the web, as everything is so accessible on the internet!
You betcha

I think everyone on this site is, to some degree.
yes, not sure how to stop
I came across this while studying for something I've been putting off for weeks. I think so :s-smilie:

Yep. I spend far too much time procrastinating on TSR when I should be doing my homework :facepalm:
Yes I am but its good as I gain knowledge browsing random things. A lot of the people who aren't wasting their time on the internet are instead wasting more money clubbing, more time drinking alcohol and taking drugs and ruining their health or other things. There's very few going to the gym and leading active and happy lifestyles all the time and I know loads of fitness freaks who're just as addicted because they come home and they blog about the gym and then are on the forum all the time dedicated trying to get shredded. The only people I know who have it better are those with the money to travel and explore and whilst at university there is not much chance of that. Once university is over you can then dedicate your time to making a change by travelling across Europe taking up different jobs and mixing it up with a bit of excitement. I think university to some degree keeps a grip on you. Hardly a persons fault.

Yes. My husband reckons it's miracle when I turn my computer off. Even when we went away for the weekend I couldn't resist using his phone to log in to TSR.

Not much point restarting a thread that's 8 years old imo

The point may be, but the thread isn't.
Accepted view is that it's better to make a new thread so that there aren't a load of outdated posts with non-present users clogging up the first part of the thread.

Also addicted. I get someone to hide my phone. I can also be really lazy so I make it too long for me to use my phone again. So I’ll disconnect the WiFi, put on Airplane mode and put it in a different room. I’ll be too lazy to get up and undo all that damage so I’ll be forced to stop for a bit. You could also set screen time limits.

Of course you don't literally have to delete all of your social medias, but it gives insight at least into how to become more conscious when using the internet.
