Tp4 internets at least 14 hours a day minimum.. [attachimg=1]
Recently considering cutting back..
Has anyone had any positive results from using less internet..
Yes tp4 am aware that it is silly to ask on the internet about using less internet.
--on the flip side, where would i find answers and people to talk to except on the internet...
-
Take a book to a local park and chill out. No phone, nothing.

Less internet might lead to gf/wife then kids, mortgage, car payments, moar insurance, etc
Just internet it's cheaper.

I pulled my computer to pieces to cut a hole in the case on Saturday, got bored and could not be bothered to put it back together.
I ended up getting drunk twice and cruising around with my friends in my car (after no longer being drunk) whilst blasting Wheeler Walker Jr. Did this for about 3 hours. Just for context, its about 4 minutes from one side of this **** hole of a town to the other.
If I hadn't just put the **** back together, I would probably be drunk again.

I started using the internet less when I got married, bought a house and car.
So many other things to spend my time on these days and the internet just isn't a priority.

It's more or less how you use the internet.
You can use it to be a total perv or invent the next best technology.

Odds are most here on Geekhack Central, fit the preceding category with ease :thumb: .

I used spend 2/3rds of my life on the internet. Forums were the best place for this because you get lots of feedback unlike social media which feels a bit like you're typing into a void half the time. Chatting to yourself. Think it really contributes to the sense of isolation people feel nowadays they're super antisocial compared to this format.
Anyway I mostly weaned myself off using the internet on my phone a couple of years ago by turning off all notifications. Seems to work. Also try avoid writing anything cos then I'll have to go back and read more and respond to it and the timesink continues. Particularly because inputting is so much slower on a phone you end up spending way more time getting very little done.
I've been working stupid hours on a computer for the last couple of years so I don't need much incentive to get off it in my free time now unless I'm particularly exhausted. My only vice is Youtube.

Can vouch, wise words.
And internet can't nag nor insist on seeking your attention.
Stay back with internet. Real life is not as it sound :eek:

I quit facebook and felt great. Have replaced it with Geekhack and a bit of Reddit and 2am imgur meme dump scrolling.
Bedtime is the worst. Impossible to lay down and sleep. Just swipe until my eyes close.
Scroll on.

Sleep wise I read kindle or listen to podcasts. Something about books always makes you more sleepy than regular internets.
Internet and sleep can also be solved by having a child. They disrupt both so much you'll never take either for granted again.

I have a child, it hasn't helped. I agree about the reading though. In fact I read books on a kindle app on my phone, and it's true, I'll drop straight off if I read that in bed. Problem is dragging myself away from the safari app. It's ridiculous really, cos I know the book is gonna be enjoyable and get me off to sleep, but still I opt for internet nearly every time...
