How to Overcome Internet Forum Addiction

[snooper2]

Internet forums offer a great opportunity to learn more about a particular subject and introduce yourself to people with the same interests you have. After awhile, though, you may find that you spend a little too much time in some of these forums. If internet forums are causing you to lose sleep or are hindering your work, it's probably time to take a break. It won't be an easy process but it will be worth the work. Here is how to overcome internet forum addiction.

Step1
Begin by deleting your browsing history, temporary internet files and cookies. First, this will take the link to the forum from automatically appearing on your browser once you begin typing the first letter of the website in your address bar. It will also remove any passwords that you have saved on the website, thus not allowing you to automatically log on.

Step2
Shut your computer down in the evenings. If you are a big fan of internet forums, you probably spend plenty of time in these forums during the night. When your computer is at rest or “asleep,” simply moving your mouse can allow you to get right back onto that forum within 30 seconds. Turning your computer off, though, makes getting online more of a process. Turn your computer off about an hour before you plan to go to bed.

11. Another way: saves money too!

Call your phone or cable company and downgrade your service by eliminating the high speed broadband. If you're on dialup eliminate the home phone line and go cell phone only.

12. I have a better method:

1) Open door.
2) Go outside.
3) Do something.
4) repeat as necessary.
