Follow This Simple Process To Break Your Habit Of Wasting Time Forever
- Take a deep breath.
- Ask yourself: What does this activity do for you?
- Then ask yourself: Is this what I want?
- Take another deep breath.
- What really matters to you right now?
- Do exactly that.
If you want to break the habit, you have to start doing what matters.
For that you have to first get out of your head a little bit, which is what taking a deep breath does.
If you are overthinking something you will just get stressed again, causing you to run to whatever habits you feel comfortable in; which are usually your time-wasters.
You must become aware of what you are doing even after involving yourself in those activities.
Most of the times we just get lost in the time-wasters, which is what causes them to waste so much time.
One video turns to half the day, one episode turns into one season, and one round of your favorite game turns into an all-nighter.
If you however become aware of what you are doing and ask yourself what benefit this activity has while you are doing it you create a choice to keep going or to change what you are doing.
