This is advice is amazing. Finally a concrete solution to the symptoms of internet hypnotism. This is solution is simple, easily habitual and one that can even be done under the basis of common sense. Common sense is unappreciated genius which is why you and this solution are genius. Thank you very much. I'm gonna show my friends this. This bound to help a multitude of people.

I'll give you some props -- it took no little amount of time, effort, and understanding to create this. Lots of artists on this site submit impressive work, but don't commit a lot of underlying thought or introspection to it. This is a very refreshing experience, thank you for sharing.

The internet is my life, but there's things I need to accomplish on the internet that is my problem DX

I live in Minnesota and have winter layoff I sort of live on the internet for a good 1/4 of the year. Best I can hope for is finding a good book to break up the days.

Wow, that's so surreal! And kind of fun sounding...

I live there, too, and I can back up that statement. However, good books and spending time with friends aren't that hard to come by. Well, maybe less with the good books, but friends and going out and spending the day with them is still there 24/7.

Wow, I never even realized this about the Internet until you pointed this out. ;A; I think that's a common issue between us all here, especially as the Internet and technology in general becomes more and more regular with our lifestyles.
Thanks for the post! I think you helped a lot of people out with it.

You know what's funny, I'd never seen this comic before, but I got into the habit of doing this when I lost internet at home. I'd go to a place with public wifi, and since I had a time limit, I would download videos, save images and helpful articles, look at them all later at home when I had free time, and then delete them. And ever since I got the internet back, I've been using it much less.

Yeah. So I can vouch for this as a method that works. xD
