A trick to almost instantly stop your computer session...it is easy, won't hurt, and works

Let's say you are stuck on the computer..and go from site to site. from forum to forum..from reading one sentence to reading another......How can one stop, ?????????quickly,,,,easily....without pain....and definitely won't hurt oneself......

You want to leave,,,but can't.....what do you do????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

It is so easy..that I didn't believe it...........???

Just .....CLOSE YOUR EYES..COUNT TO TEN...THEN..TURN IT OFF

I have discovered that the light signals from the computer...for me...are addictive..
.by simply closing the eyes...the signals stop...the brain calms down just enough...to turn it off, or put it into a sleep mode..then walk away....
