Time wasters

Label addictive online activities of social media and video games as time-waistors without self-criticism or self-judgment.

Ask yourself, “What are the benefits of my online activities?” Consider if they truly add value or bring you joy.

Ask yourself benefits

Ask yourself, what are the benefits of online addictive activities?

Imagine gaining an extra 3-5 hours daily for your personal goals. Track your time on entertainment sites and apps, and find ways to reduce it.

3 more hours

Imagine a life where three to five hours magically appeared each day to help you reach your professional social health and bucket list goals. Track the number of hours you spend on social media, Netflix, YouTube, porn sites, and other online entertainment and see if you can find more productive time for your day by limiting entertainment online use.

Remember, you always have the power to "change the channel" when you catch yourself in unproductive activities, just like switching off a TV program you don't enjoy.

Golf channel

One time I paused on a cable golf channel and watched it for 10 minutes, even though I don't enjoy golf at all. It was as if I forgot I had control and I could change the channel. Remember, you can change the channel when you criticize yourself.
