>TFW promised myself I'd stop going on 4chan in 2017

you still have 19 days

This is your home.

>>69720696
baka you don't stop addictions all of a sudden

>>69720755
A Stanford study showed cold turkey to be best method of quitting strong addiction

>>69720731
How do I do it anon

Just replace 4chan with something productive?

>>69720696
iktf
me too

tho it doesnt change the plan to leave here very soon

>>69720869
Play videogames, watch an interesting show, work out, hell just go outside in general.

If all else fails, turn off the computer.

>haven't fapped in 9 days

>>69720926
I do all of those except videogames

Doesn't stop me from going on here in between though. I wish I spent my time more efficiently and productively

>>69720869
you don't have to stop since you don't have the will
you can manage the time you spend on it

as in let it become a habit as oppose to somewhere where you aren't doing anything

positive and active interaction is better than passive

havent promised anything to myself dbi

reminder

>>69721024
I want to utilize my time to its maximal potential.

Should I just keep a daily/monthly/yearly planner?

I tried breaking down my day by 30min intervals in a spreadsheet but then found out I spend most of my time doing absolutely nothing

>>69721123
find hobbies
socialise
a job
a gf
a goal

>>69721183
That doesn't help me extract maximal value from my time.

I want to use every minute of my day efficiently to earn money and improve myself

>>69721123
>I want to
must be backed by action
we can all make spread sheets, but that's not the same thing as following through

the key is to know how to break into parts that you know you will do
beyond that it is a pointless exercise

>>69720696

I've been doing that every month since late/mid 2011. Suicide is the only option famalam.

I'm never getting that time back. Every day, spennding over 10+ browsing 4chan, every week, every month, for over 5 years.

>>69721309
I feel as though I get easily distracted though

Like: I'll go to the gym, then pull out my phone between sets and shitpost for like 20 mins and then finish working out and spend another hour shitposting

So then I pretty much turned an hour of productive activity into 2+ hours.

How do I stop this? Focus on one thing at a time?

Multitasking seems like a fucking meme

>>69721392

10+ houras

>>69721405
that's why you got to follow up on your schedule
if you can't do something like half hour gym half hour 4chan you can give yourself some room on the scedual such as half an hour gym 4 hour 4 chan and slowly decrease increments by 15 min, it is much more important to be able to follow through because even mismanagement of time is a habit that must be broken

>>69720696
If you leave 4chan for a period, you'll just run out of things to do. 4chan is a symptom, not the cause, and there's nothing wrong with browsing it, unless you visit boards that fuck up your thought like /pol/ and /r9k/

>>69721597
>unless you visit boards that fuck up your thought like /pol/ and /r9k/

JUST

>>69721392
Lol that sucks senpai

Way less for me. How do you not get bored spending so much time here

>>69721494
I think you're right.

Gonna try to replace it all with productive shit like khanacacdemy, MIT courseware or other shit.

Because hell if we spent half the time on 4chan as we spent learning Math or Organic Chemistry or whatever we'd be smart ASF

>>69721637
half an hour isn't enough

the key is to follow through on a plan, not cram

>>69721637

You build up a tolerance.

>>69721597
All boards are a waste of time, true they have useful info but just making a thread asking a question then when you get it -- dip.

Mostly stickies and basic info is about as much as you'll learn from here I noticed.

Probably one of the worst sources of information and everyone posting here is retarded or pretending to be retarded because they think it's funny

10 hours on 4chan genuinely feels like 10 hours wasted as opposed to any other activity pretty much

I mean fuck, 2 hours reading a book while drunk, any book would leave you with more than posting/browsing 4chan for ten hours.

>>69721827
I am half-listening to music, half-reading /int/.
Finding a new good music while reading quality bantz is bretty good.

>promised myself to nollie underflip in 2017

its gonna happen brehs

>>69721948
>quality bantz

Ah yes. ">BE AMERICAN>GET SHOT" "LOL BBC HOW CAN WHITEYS COMPETE XDDD"

Also I like to focus on the music, like a fine steak or admiration of an impressive piece of art I cannot allow anything else to tamper with the presentation.

>>69720869
Just stick to the non-cancerous boards. Like /vr/ and /diy/ .

Ive decided to stop going to inane boards like /g/ (wow that place went to shit lately) and /v/. now i only go to /int/ with its intellectual and educational content

>>69722147
>Games for children
>Not cancerous

I can't quite imagine an adult male with a MODICUM of self-respect playing videogames.

When I imagine a person admired by others I cannot picture "Interests: videogames" in his biography.

Delete all your games, uninstall everything.

I'm out - see you on the other side of the moon.

>>69722903

>>69722902

>>69723241
I must go. My life needs me.

take care

>>69723370
Safe travels brother

How do you actually quit 4chan? Serious question

>>69723878

Go to Facebook and talk with your friends.

Instead of making new threads about bullshit here send them messages about it.

I forgot it, but this is actually how it used to work before I got here. I did send new stuff to friends and we discussed it together. Your bonds were growing stronger and I was getting introduced to their other friends.

You know how this works. You did it in the past. You just forgot.

Pretty much yes. I don't really understand how people can delude themselves into believing that they would be going to the moon or shit if they were not posting here. It's the little things that make life alright.
