Recently I realized how awesome it is to develop new good habits.
When you waste your time reading social networks you feel absolutely lazy. And that feeling sucks.
And you look through an endless news feed and you are like 'argh, I gotta stop doing this.... no, seriously... stoooop it! yeah, I will get back to work right... oh what a lovely kitten!' And you just keep wasting your time. It's hard to stop it immediately. But it's not impossible to stop it in a long term perspective.
It's not even that hard. You just need to find motivation, inspiration and start spending your time doing something useful!
It's that easy. Really.
So, first, unsubscribe from all groups. Or leave one or two which post very few pics during the day. Make your news feed look so, that it's possible to read it in 5-10 minutes. And leave it to that. Then find what will replace reading news feed. A book. Somebody's blog with information interesting for you. Like, I read a book about design patterns (for work) and blogs of self-development coaches. That is not working. That is not doing anything complicated. You are still reading, but now instead of filling your brain with meaningless pics, jokes and quotes, you're filling it with useful data, which will in a long run help you improve.
So I started developing good habits. Reading news on social networks has become rather boring. I do that in the morning while my brain is incapable of thinking. But once I'm fully awake - I have more exciting things to feed my brain with! And that is awesome!
