How do you stop a habit? I want to stop browsing shit online

Start small. Do whatever for a week straight. Build. Simple as that.

Sometimes you need to force yourself a little, but once it becomes habit, it's in your autopilot script and you don't have to apply nearly the amount of effort as you did before.

I did start an exercise habit and then gave up 2 weeks later. I'm afraid I can't maintain anything.

Be accountable for your time.

Write down everything you do in a day (excluding the small things).

If it isn't working, find some ruthless asshole to read your daily schedule and rip into you if you wasted the entire day.

I'm not a psychfag but I think there's a psychological rule that it's much easier to form a habit, or a behavior, than it is to stop (or degrade) a behavior.

Basically, my advice is to replace your old habit with something else. It's sort of a roundabout way of doing it, but I follow a similar rule in my life. Basically, the new habit will take over the old habit's nest , make it raise its babies, then and then kick it out.

What if the habit you're trying to replace is browsing the internet all day? And what if you want to start working online but you're an addicted neckbeard that can't stay away from browsing shit? I even tried blocking myself but I just find a way around it.

I would try to get a job that doesn't involve working online or from home, to be honest.

I'll let you in on a secret: most people (myself included) cannot manage their own lives. The only reason they are even slightly productive is because they go to a different environment every day, that is centered around something that is not their home, with a boss or supervisor monitoring them. They only work because they are forced to. There is nothing wrong with you for not being motivated at home; that is normal. I would get out and find yourself a job. Just the scheduling alone of having to wake up at a certain time and leave your house at a certain time will add some more structure to your life.

Well fuck. There must be some other way. I'm sure it is.

I'm gonna be honest OP, I don't think there is another way that doesn't involve leaving your house.

Do you have a meetup group, therapy group, exercise sessions, college, music lessons, language lessons, gaming groups, anything like that? It doesn't have to be a job. It DOES have to be a regularly scheduled thing.
