    Breaking My Phone Addiction

    MINDSET 
    Maybe I'm just making useless efforts and I shouldn't even bother. Why do go fastlane when I can't even stop looking at my phone long enough to realize how I'm wasting my life. I've been addicted to electronics since I was 10 F*cking years old... How do I change habit this strong?

    Breaking My Phone Addiction

    MINDSET 
    Hey everyone, it's been a couple of months since I last posted here... I have been getting even worse over the last few months on the phone. I can't seem to bring myself to get off this thing, and instead of socializing with people in school I am spending time scrolling on youtube shorts...

    My way of holding myself accountable to this will be setting up my blocking system again, and making it harder to break. Then putting up a checklist on my wall as a physical reminder of my record of success.

    Done! It feels better, I feel like it might be good to not focus on dating for a while like Aidan suggested and instead work on breaking this.

    Breaking My Phone Addiction

    MINDSET 
    Funny you should say that, I actually used a flip phone for a while at the insistence of my parents. The main problem is that I tend to use the maps feature of the phone a lot, as well as some of the other functionality. I know I can use most of the features on a flip phone, but it makes...

    Breaking My Phone Addiction

    Ok, I have been inactive for about a week, so here is my updated metrics. This is very dismal, but the sources have been narrowed down to mostly my internet browser. I have wasted probably 4-5 days of time just by being on my phone an insane amount. I have gotten rid of Tinder so now...

    Books about the importance of time.

    IDEA 
    Marcus Aurelius talked a lot about it in Meditations, he seemed to have a quite melancholic view of it. Valuable nonetheless though.

    Breaking My Phone Addiction

    MINDSET 
    Ok, first update. I have been procrastinating badly on getting this set up and I finally put a few blockers in place today to make it more difficult to get onto the phone. The first numbers are pretty dismal though. It seems like the main problem apps are Samsung Internet, Kingdom Rush...

    Hello everyone, I'm going to be posting my phone numbers daily here for some accountability so I can finally break this massive waste of time.

    Thoughts on YouTuber MrBeast?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Have you created a globally recognized brand? Have you created a YouTube channel that gets tens of millions of views a video? Have you created something that millions of people enjoy watching and find value in? Have you helped change the lives of disadvantaged people? I didn't think so. Try...

    Ditching old friends to find like minded guys.

    Hey I am 19 and in a somewhat similar situation to you, would you be down to connect in DMs?

    How many of you play video games?

    HOT! OFF-TOPIC 
    I stopped playing several months ago and really haven't done much since. I have my steam account slated for deletion sometime in September, and I got rid of my Xbox and my Microsoft account recently so games are basically removed from my life at this point. I occasionally relapse and download...

    The definitive Fastlane guide for teenagers...

    GOLD! IMPORTANT! 
    Hey MJ, I really appreciate this wisdom you are giving to us younger folks! By chance, would this also apply to those of us in the 18-22 range? Especially for me because I have missed out on a lot of experiences up until this point.

    Also noted, my relationship with my family has become very strained due to this and I feel like I am on the path to being kicked out if I screw up again.
