Go cold turkey on entertainment.
Just stop it, or entertainment will ruin your life completely, it is the worst drug.

In practical terms, that means primary to stop using any screens, no TV, internet, smartphone.
These are the worst addictions known that make you into a zombie until you are dead.

You are here because you are extremely susceptible to this drug, therefore any kind of small reduction in dose makes no sense and will fail - you need to stop it completely, forever.

The transition will be hard, harder than quitting heroine addiction. Just like with alcoholics anonymous, you will repeatedly, again and again be tempted to use screens again for entertainment, especially in times when you are stressed, weak, hungry, horny or otherwise psychologically compromised: But know that these phases usually only last for maybe 20 minutes, if you can distract yourself and do sth. else, maybe sport, cooking or reading a book, you after that short time period can have more self control for a longer time again.

Get real:
The entertainment drug, used for endless procrastination until death, is your most critical problem.
You may have other problems, but none of those lesser problems have any chance at being solved if you not stop the number one destructive influence in your life: Electronic entertainment - this vilest of all evils is endlessly available, cheap, ubiquitous and able to provide you endless amounts of small pleasure, destroying yourself by making you a marionette of your brain's pleasure center.

Throw out/sell/destroy all screens you have. Only temptations you have not available are sure to not catch and overpower you in phases of weakness that will surely arrive because they are part of life.

If you cognitively see the reason in stopping electronic entertainment forever, there is no reason to keep the means for it accessible - just if your really want to diet and lose weight, there is no reason to keep chocolate cake in the fridge.

You must kill what kills you, or, well, it will kill you sooner or later.
Remember how much of your life, success and potential already has been killed by electronic entertainment - it is your worst enemy. Do not keep your worst enemy around yourself, do not pay for your worst enemy - get rid of your worst enemy.

I go on reading-binges every so often. As a kid with no computer, all I did was read. Indoors.

You can claim there's more than "screens". But besides books and indoor stuff I see nothing. Socialising is good when I do it with 5% of humanity that I don't fucking despise and doesn't likewise scoff at me. But even then, it's tiring.

The best moments in my life have been with various powerful forms of entertainment, art or what have you. If you want to be a mindless slave-driven normalfaggot, then go for this goal of no screens. If it works well, good job mr. big balls extrovert non-autist.

Now get the fuck off this board.

DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE SCALE OF THE PROBLEM!

SUDDENLY YOU ARE 30, NO MONEY, NO JOB, NO FAMILY, VIRGIN, NO EDUCATION.

SUDDENLY GAMES FEEL LIKE A LIE AND REAL LIFE KICKS IN AND YOU FIND YOU HAVE NOTHING AND ARE NOTHING.

DO NOT THINK IT CANNOT HAPPEN TO YOU - IT HAPPENS TO MILLIONS OF PEOPLE CURRENTLY.

>>36140867
wew. Doesn't matter jack shit since I'm a master daydreamer kek.
>>
I don't get it... what would you do with your life without screens?

Truly, there are many points at which hedonism breaks apart, but being better than altruism is not one of them

>>36140867
Pretty spot on, since I'm about to stop it for one week for studying reasons.
