Reboot Tip during isolation for Coronavirus

What's up Nation,

Many of us will be spending way more time at home, and potentially online. Just wanted to drop a line of advice that helps me avoid spending too much time online:

1) SET A TIMER! For time online.

2) Make a list of things to do offline.

My list: Workout, Read a book for an hour, write an hour, work on a project (I'm currently working on a reboot nation video that will be responding to a recent article that listed 10 ridiculous arguments implying the concept of porn addiction is "dangerous."), play cards with wife, take dog on walk, call parents, etc.. etc..

Decide on a reasonable amount of time to get your news, look at social media to communicate with friends/family, watch educational videos (like Reboot Nation  8) ). Then, set a timer.

Do this everyday. Should only take a couple mins max. Keep it simple. It needs to be something you genuinely believe you can stick to.

Finish by writing a "reward" you'll get if you complete the list. After all is done, fire up that Netflix show, video game or whatever floats your boat.

Remember the saying "idle time is the devil's playground." Keep busy doing healthy things.

Hope this helps. Much love

Excellent advice, I love how you worded the second part.

I was just listening to a radio talk show and they were discussing how to spend extra time at home (unrelated to porn struggles) and I was practically yelling at the radio "put down the phone!".  When we're busy, we love grabbing our phones for short, quick bursts of entertainment that can quickly escalate.  If we're home for many hours, that can be a bad idea.  I'm not YET at a point where I'm going to have all that extra time (my state is much less affected at this point), but I'm already planning.  Even though I'm two and a half years off of porn, I still can find myself wasting my time with stupid stuff and that struggle goes on every day, so all this advice applies to me too.

This is great advice, thanks TS! We can all survive these dreadful times I'm sure!

Controlling our minds are very important because it will make a huge difference to avoid viewing porn and masturbation. So, there are ZERO EXCUSES!!! and I MEAN ZERO!!! ZIP ZILCH NADA OK?
