Internet Addiction Restriction Prot...
Star this Commitment
Day 6 of 28
jlr123 commits to:
From March 16 to March 24, track daily: total screen time, including what type of internet is consumed (YouTube, TikTok, etc.), and unconscious habits that lead to long usage. Log the amount of time spent each day in "My Commitment Journal". Some separate “allowed” tech (music, podcasts) from scrolling is Spotify. Include useful strategies for change that work or have not been tried, and strategies that don't work/pitfalls/triggers. List these daily as possible, and changes start post 03/24.

Cont. March 17th entry note: Actions do not seem to coincide with desires. Whether that is weight loss, internet addiction, etc.. Needs to be resolved. Strategy that might work: Internet addiction TikTok channel, workout channel again, etc.. For accountability. Also, it seems TikTok is not addictive as it seems while on computer and not on phone, but I have gone down a slippery slope before. I don't respect myself. I see myself as immature due to my inability to follow a schedule, and I hate who I am. I am irritated at myself for my immaturity, as I also see my social skills as being equivalent to a child's. Next report: March 18th |
