Challenge yourself

[da_illest101]

Post a challenge that you want or think other should try to make your life better.

Here is my story for the challenge
Alright i'm so freaking tired of passing the whole day, whole week, whole month, whole year in front of my computer. Unless there was something I had to do I can't remember a day me not passing a minimum of 4 hours in front of my computer. Sometimes I actually do absolutely NOTHING AT ALL but i don't budge. My body is damage from all the sitting, typing and other things, especially my right hand and arms.

CHALLENGE
So starting tommorow for two days .... nah let's make it 5 days I won't open the computer at all except for a few exception

- watching my weekly shows online
- someone needs my help for anything ( most likely won't happen )

i can use my cell phone for online usage but knowing myself I won't use it too long.

This is gonna be extremely hard, but i'm gonna give it my best. There is various things I want to to do but my computer addiction is in my way.

Good choice!
I couldn't give up a computer cold turkey like that. But I wish I could. Good luck with it!

My challenge to myself is to: Make a friend (or at least have a conversation with somebody new) in person, with somebody tonight.

I have been saying that I can't do it too. I'm at least gonna try lol. Making a new friend should be on my list too. I never did that

The computer challenge, neigh, the internet one is something that I am trying to commit to. I actually asked my mother to password protect the router, block my IP address. There are still a few things I need to do online that are important, but after that I am going to commit to staying offline for the rest of the year, minimum.

the rest of the year, wow I wonder if i could do that someday. I'm a bit scared of getting my parents involve, I know them they would take my ps3 as well, even though I don,t have a gaming addiction any more. Once I'll watch my shows tommorow i'll give my computer cable to my sister

Good idea about the computer. I've been thinking about that lately. I feel like I should take some time off from the site, and just the computer in general. Let's see how long that'll last for me. I'm hoping a few days.

Good luck with that.I think about not opening my computer for a week everyday.But I just can't seem to do it.

 

[da_illest101]

I failed didn't even last a day ::

 

[da_illest101]

LOL! That's why I'm going to have myself blocked out. I wouldn't even make ten minutes otherwise. What other things did you have planned to take the place of the computer? Going for walks? Reading? Exercise? Perhaps a new strategy would prove useful?

well i was planning on playing video games, draw, workout. I think I need someone to just take it away from me

Keep trying, da-illest.

I tried something similar, not write in my blog, and stay off the net in the mornings. I managed three days in a row.

 

[da_illest101]

Maybe give yourself smaller targets. Like limiting your time to one hour a day, then only every second day for a set time, build up your resistance.

yea you are right, i'll limit myself to 10 hours a day. I should be able to do that .

I'm gonna try 4 hours a day starting tommorow. I have an ext in google chrome that can help me with that

^ Yeah I didn't last 24 hours either. :: But, I did happen to keep myself busy enough so I was on significantly less than I usually am. So.. that counts for something, right? And I will continue being on far less. I'll try to keep it at one log in a day, see how that goes.
