I had an idea of using my timer to manage time. 'Training wheels' for not spending so much time stuck doing something.
timer with ten minutes left on it |
So I set this timer to 20 minutes to play video games, watch videos or chat with people on the internet. And when the timer is done I set it to a 30 minutes, to "touch grass" sit around thinking about stuff, writing and chatting with local people or going for a walk. I thought this was a good solution, even though not ideal.
I'm trying this because even though I'm not addicted to the internet it tends to suck me in for hours leaving me drained or anxious depending on what's going on. And I thought if I spent more time away from the internet I'll become more aware of what's making me anxious or drained.
A long with that I think I'll try scheduling things in more, even if it seems silly. Having a structure is a good idea. Even if I feel silly doing it because I tend to feel more comfortable doing whatever when ever because I've been a NEET for so long. Though I'm having a harder time doing it nowadays. I dont know if I have brain damage or I'm just feeling my age.
