What do you do to shut yourself off technology when you need to study for exams? 90% of /g/ has internet addiction, yet somehow some of you still make it.

Give me your best tips, I have absolute garbage willpower.

Put a sharpie in your ass.

Block all you can on hosts file, turn off computer, and throw away the power cables.
Or just have a little bit of discipline. If you're procrastinating, that means whatever you're skipping isn't that important.

Go study in a public area. The fact that people can look at your screen what you are doing might be an extra factor not to browse /g/,4chan or any other shady shit in general.

Other than that being in a different area then your bedroom alone can be a bit better.

If you have fb there is an option to temporarily shut down you account for a day or so. Look it up.

This. I felt I worked better when I was working on stuff in the labs on campus as opposed to my dorm room and overall felt more productive and got more things done.

I would literally take my gaming PC and put it in my closet, then just plug in my laptop to my monitor and set up a badass workstation. Additionally use your hosts file to block whatever sites you go to.

Additionally, if you feel that your willpower is complete ass, do something like this.

Study for 20 minutes, break for 10 where you can browse whatever you want. Hell make it 15 minutes if you want. Eventually you will realize to yourself that you should be studying and get back to work. Or if you do use your whole 15 minutes, at least your will still be studying more often than not, so go at it.

>need to study for exams
If you bother with studying a little during the year, you generally don't need to study for exams specifically

Do us all a favor and leave the planet. Your genetics should not be carried on.

Move to another room of the house that doesn't have a computer. Bring a shitty laptop in with you if you need the internet to study.
This other room should have almost nothing in it other than a chair and a desk, maybe a mini-fridge.
Turn the light on in the room and tell everyone (if you don't live alone) to leave you the fuck alone.
Study, study, study.
Profit.

Bonus: Drag a shitty mattress in there if you plan to do this for more than one day.

This method helped me maintain a 3.7GPA while hiding my 16 hour a day video game addiction, GL anon.

I recently bought a Nokia 130 to replace my OnePlus One and I've found that I waste a lot less time looking at pointless shit online. That only helps if you find yourself looking at your smartphone often though. As for your PC, there's a chrome extension called StayFocusd that allows you to set the maximum amount of time you allow yourself on certain websites, I find that helps.
Other than that just think of how much it'd benefit you to pass your exams well and use that as motivation.

Well you aren't going to finish it if your scared of it.

Lights in room on
Uninstall GPU drivers
Use linux to avoid games
Set a router firewall to block jewbook+4chan so you don't get on it with your phone

I remember not having Inernet for a few months last year, and while I missed a lot of important things, it was absolutely fantastic.

I have a bad Internet addiction, and not being constantly worried about reading emails, RSS feeds, etc. felt incredibly liberating.
It was like I was bedridden in a basement for years and then I was pic related.

My FOMO was gone because I just gave up on whatever was happening around me and didn't have the need to always wanting to know or partecipate in what's happening online.

When I got Internet back, I went to feeling like shit exactly like before within a day.

I wish I could live without the Internet...
