Personal Development for Smart People Forums - View Single Post - I can't stop myself from visiting inspirational/motivational forums every 20 minutes

I'm serious. I don't know why I do this but I honestly do...every 20 minutes if I'm in my dorm room trying to study or even in the library when I'm on the computer.
it takes away valuable time which could've been spent studying.

So, in order to do this, I"m not going to stop cold turkey. I will not go on any of the forums or look for other inspirational stories or facebook (unless some one messages me, and it'd be only for literally 1 minute) or youtube for 12 hours. I imagine it would make me feel great to have this sense of control over my internet use (or abuse, haha)

this obsession might have to do with the fact that I seek feeling better about myself or seeking answers regarding emotional and personal development through reading. This in turn doesn't leave much room for action which is the catalyst for success.

So, I will start..right now!no forums for 12 hours! wish me luck! (well, its not like I'll read it anyway, well...at least until the next 12 hours)

I know this might seem a bit pathetic to some, but its really becoming a problem and I need to do WHATEVER IT TAKES.
