I think Iā€™m having this problem right now. But I think thereā€™s a way for it, you could also spend some time on the computer but also stop computering to do your hobbies.

Iā€™ve heard from Doctor K that if you want to do good habits that cause you displeasure, being on the internet as soon as you wake up makes it worse for you to not get it started as early because you have the doses of dopamine you have in the moment and it feels horrible to divorce yourself from that.
But thatā€™s supposedly gets better with time. I do have the ambition to learn at least 3 days before an exam, more than half of my high school classmates do not :skull:.

Do they do well on the exam because itā€™s only a skill issue if not

I think Iā€™d feel a horrible sentiment of depressive isolation to be put in a place with people that vaguely doesnā€™t want to be my friends or having to bear them with absolutely no alternatives and having no safe space of self-expression.

I know that technology use can make your mood worse, but Iā€™m not sure how exactly. Thereā€™s also that if you spend more time in the sun, it makes you happier because it gives you some chemical to push gloom away. Or if you do enough physical exercise to the point it gives you a runnerā€™s high.

I mean, I really got into the Internet in 9th grade, but that was the point when I had, like, zero friends, and Iā€™m not certain what Iā€™d have done if I hadnā€™t really jumped in.

and if youā€™re retired its reccomended actually cause itā€™s just dangerous for you , you probably end up buying something dumb or get paranoia from reading some clickbait article about the world ending online
