I am an Internet Addict. Here is why.

4. Another thing I'm trying: is to be hard core about not clicking on a post title that doesn't say what it's about

for example,

# 15,000 in 2020 down to 7,000 in 2024
# Listened to Jake Broe
# No, you can't effin script this..

No more mystery post clicking, no matter how many recs it has. Sorry, I really, honestly and truly have less than no time for that.

(2.) and absolutely not watch a video that's longer than 3 minutes, unless the poster directs us to a specific segment in the video to watch. And perhaps if the poster gives a summary of the important information in the video (something more than "this is another really insightful video from Joe Blow" ).

==========================
Ooops, time is up, I'm into an "even" hour when I'm not supposed to be on the Internet unless it is "work-related" where I define work as things I really need to do (I'm retired so I don't have job work stuff).

It would be very interesting if others share how they reduce their time on the Internet, so they can spend more time dealing with non-fun kinds of things like taking care of house repairs, decluttering (at least to the point of being able to find everything important), and so many other nags on to-do lists), etc..
