Celebration tends to be all purpose. Even so the world is run by serious people. So while you may not be interested in using jokes to remove your internet overuse by these methods, I would say for those who overuse at least using the timer padlock and screenshot method with words in the photo editor that are your good side and perhaps also the audio loop may be an option of most worth.
Here's my link as promised to my post How I Built my Own Comedy Machine, and Saved! This is a more technical page but like math you learn by doing math, so too just watching comedy and learning as you go is the way I often lived.
This Comedy Machine link is a summation of 5 of 30 of the most powerful tricks I found and a more systematic way to learn, even so as the ancients would say "we learn not for diplomas but for life."
The most effective way I found for using the timer padlock is to combine this timer with a triage method. You may be familiar with triage and what this means when you're short of resources is to parcel out what you have according to the most valuable first and then continuing to the less value.
If you think of the internet and how overuse Is a burden or tiring you can think of it like a shortage. In particular eye strain not to mention the strain on your brain are worth counteracting.
The timer padlock is the the main powerful way I found to reduce overuse. When I started using the timers I decided to make a list and wait like four days and just do the list and be finished with it then go back online for more days.
I was hoping for great improvement but it wasn't a deep solution because eventually I was tired of this method also. I think Emerson said you want to read the great books first because you may not get a chance to read them all, and this is why you may want to do what's most important first when you time back in with the timer padlock because for the time being at any rate you can't do all there is and know all there is right away!
So I time my modem out for two to four days with each loop while I'm reading books And magazines and memorizing somewhat each day on the days off, because reading has been found to boost memory and it's good for your brain many ways..
This seems to be sort of the opposite of the internet. Also note that you can think about the tendency to overuse while you're offline about what you want to search most and then think about the tendency to overuse and counteracting the thought itself like by writing down what you don't want to do and using methods like the letter method to memorize this edit of your resistance to the overuse.
Your brain needs rest offline to consolidate memories but also during this time you can consolidate the memory of your most important events when you go back online.
In so many ways like reading books the internet is where you can't see the forest for the trees. By doing the most important things first in order of importance you get in and out before the surprises may be there to waste your time more often.
You can ask yourself, what am I doing here if you don't know "what you're doing here" you may want to time it out with the timer and wait till you decide what's most important.
A simple way to do this is to write a list of the important words and then take the first letters of each word to make other words of the acronyms, the first letters of each word and then memorize this while you're offline , so you've got it really set up to be able to remember what's most important to do when you go back online.
The question you would ask yourself in general is what is the pay I'm getting for this activity? The ones with low pay that just seem to keep you always waiting for pay that never comes are the ones you really want to just like say Arevwah y'all, and enough's enough.. For instance did you know the average YouTube contributor used to make 2.60 a month till tney decided to lower the pay!
Love has been seen to be about efficiency And you'll feel you've done the right thing more by doing what you have to do and then stop before your efficiency goes down with each loop. Because it's more efficiency you'll feel a lot better why not go out and hug a cow! Or why or why what! A straw hat is best for fire in a heat wave in the rain!
Pick a number Any Number..The Earbuzz Method
Do you get this feeling when you're overusing that you've missed out on something obvious?
One thing you might love is a way to sort of jolt yourself out of the way you're nodding off with the overuse.
Consider sleep I know; It's been found how you get a stimulus when you're going to sleep...you get more sleepy then you get another stimulus and you get more sleepy yet. This has the same pattern as overuse I believe because here you're getting the stimulus over and over but you're gripping it more and more tightly.. And instead of going to sleep with this loop you're actually getting more and more tense and tired (when you're near or past your limit) to use the machine.
You want to be anywhere but some of these loops, anywhere else is best! And remember, the internet is real good at this! You just don't want what you go to to be as intense. Nobody wants to be in a loop others might celebrate more than with value. As I look at these searches, what's great is, you are seeing another image than the loop, AHH! Think of how it's NOT A LOOP! And EXIT and REST!
As an author I personally like to see how my sites are doing so I found myself often copying the titles of my blogs and then plugging them into the search engine and with different search engines, this might seem like a surprise because each time they change how the page looks on the search engine, some seemingly valuable and others not so to my goals, and it reminds me of how gambling apps are a huge hit in China except with this I'm not losing any money at any rate while also the Chinese don't have as much money to lose I presume..
On the other side of computer overuse where they're attempting to resist it instead of make money off the gambling apps the Chinese actually tried to use timers, and as I say they went from overusing 8 hours to 10.
But it's just randomness that drives the change as in gambling overuse that causes the flickering flame of the randomness of the machines to hypnotize.
You may have heard of the ear bees; like you have a catchy song you can't stop thinking of Like Taylor Swift When You Can't Stop Shaking her Off!
The number one all-time best ear bee song was "We Will We Will Rock You" But the number three was the Kit Kat song and believe it or not the author of this song who got rich for it thinks it's interesting company to be near "We Will We Will Rock You" because he wondered if ear bees are the buzz, no a Pizza already is a UAV!..
About this I would listen and finally I got smart and I decided to start adding words to those songs like "Call my sister and tell her I love her" "Exercise more earn more" "Pray for the world!" "Learn more songs!".. Basically by putting different words in the earbuzz you can derail it by throwing a wrench into the audio machinery.. My sister said she liked this a lot and she was going to use this method for her ear bees too..
As I said when you're actually overusing like in loops like perhaps gambling too, science shows love is about efficiency and the net is often a drain on people's efficiency.
One thing you can say it's unlike when you're falling asleep as you get stimulus after stimulus , this is more like an inflammation, it's like you're beside a "cliff" you're about to fall into and you can't just abruptly jump and run away a lot of times; most people spend a third of their cyber time just trying to say no to this and this may start more the rocks to fall down and you fall down.. so you can't just directly say no you still have to compute. You can't directly jump away from the cliff..
And finally I realized a simple solution here for loops like this is to look on your page pick a word any word if you like that might be something somewhat valuable and search it.
I use search words, say ESP, or supermarkets, make sure they aren't too interesting but enough so you realize you are away from the loop.
You can also find comedy, but I recommend this only if you're not already tired of your cyber surf.
I use comedy about 50% and more common words otherwise. Science says comedy is common in nature! But more when there's a surplus of energy.
I was thinking to stop and walk around would be good to change your outlook without much trouble to stop the overuse.. However this often isn't in reach like if you're in your car for 4000 miles, it may really drive a lot of people wild sort of like water torture where in the old days they would use drop after drop of random drips and it's actually used to cause stress by some who didn't know you took a hundred swims a month!
By doing this search method you can jolt yourself away from the cliff more reliably.. this works best for loops, the padlock is the best way to stay in moderation in general.
It's like it really was a dream about the over use and you know there's something nearby you can use you just know what it is.. Somewhere really near there was a solution but you couldn't figure out what.
One thing is about prevention. The more time you've been overusing, the more harm may have been done. Altzheimer's is up 400% over 30 years ago and Webmd says myopia is way up..and computers may be about this. (For dry eye I was told it wasn't curable or an issue, but I had severe dry eye for years till I used a bit of Benadryl in my eyebrows and this was more dramatic! DONT GET IT IN YOUR EYES, USE ONLY IN YOUR EYEBROWS..it circulates down. Another great way to relieve dry eye is hyuralonic acid , often used by ophthalmologists, the body's natural hydrating molecule, and this also has the advantage that it can help tiredness with 99% who report to the nurse they have it because if you get really sore when you just do moderate exercise, this may be a sign you have perhaps some fibromyalgia.
It's believed by many experts that this is caused by drying out or dehydration of the fascia, the bundle of tissue between your skin and muscle that was previously thought to be worthless tissue by surgeons, except that there are a lot of nerves there, and when the dehydration takes place , it compacts the fassia , pinching the nerves and sending lots of random signals of pain just for moderate exercise. Hyurlonic acid works for this by hydrating and also serrapeptate, the enzyme actually chews up all the stuff that keeps it from hydrating your fascia. While serrapeptase is not recommended for use more than a month at a timeI found I can much reduce the dose dramatically by just taking it on the outside of my legs.
As I say this site used to be about CFS chronic tiredness, but I mostly resolved this by raising my blood pressure to moderation with comfort foods et cetera, but since CFS often mingles with fibromyalgia , I had some residual fibromyalgia , and this makes it so that I can easily walk many miles without tiredness, like I had almost always even after mostly my CFS was cured (other than longer walking or heavy lifting , which I do for other health my CFS was mostly gone once I raised my blood pressure to moderation) If you have CFS or long COVID, see my other posts about how I cured my CFS and you can add this method on with the serrapeptase and the hyrulonic acid if you like and anyone anyone can increase their strength and endurance by using hyurolonic acid and serrapeptase. By this reasoning, the reason that stimulants aren't really that good for resolving a lot exercise soreness or tiredness may be because stimulants are more like lighting a small fire in a castle and relieving the burden of the weight of the nerve pain caused by the dehydration of the fascia might be more like having lighter portable central heat in your car and your ye old house boat wherever you go and don't forget the thatched roof! Or another way of describing this might be like wearing a suit of armor or heavy weights caused by this stretchy suit of fascia you're wearing, and while strengthening your ability to lift those weights is one way to solve it , it's much easier to just remove the heavy armor!)
About computer overuse the sooner you remove these loops the more you may have to feel good about. If you say no much more often to the loops it sends a message to your associates that you recognize the problem and your solution, and you use this solution as often as you like.
As I say the screenshot method has a lot of value, and economic value if you're trading altcoins or for other online uses, but I think this about the random search where you're thinking about moving away from the cliff even though it seems like you're only jolting yourself into another event, try to think of moving away from the cliffs as you're typing in the other search.
And you can combine this with walking which the Mercola site says has value to reduce the overuse. Music is also of worth, like Spotify or Amazon music with millions of tunes in reach at no cost with the ads or $12 a month for the offline version where you rent the songs.
This way you've essentially changed gears and balanced your "motion away from the cliff" or rapidly distancing away with each loop. And then once you're far enough away from you can use any other cell phone around if you can't use it on the screen like with a gambling app, then exit the cyber scene completely and turn it off and feel good!
You can turn it off or on for weeks, hours or months..Cheese sandwich! In the 1840s Alfred Lord Tennyson The Poet Laureate was paid less than the royal rat catcher, But the mouse always rhymed with "Just say cheese!"
I think a live audio service might be good for computer overuse. where once you have the word or word search, you see a 20 second video or you talk to a person who may be an AI specially trained for this.
TOP RATED BEST METHOD!
It's been seen how you don't remember what you see on the phone as much as when you read it from a book. So another good idea might be to use the search words to then reach a real book with real words like a great joke book I use the "Mammoth book of 10,000 jokes by Geofftey Tibbals" Best joke book I ever read and I haven't read it yet it's so vast!
I combine this with writing letters for the words in the book and alternating between the letters and words till I know all the words. You know right away if you made a mistake and you're getting wiser by building up your wisdom more reliably by making these simple exercises. This is a more sure way to have something of more social value for your time spent on or offline.
Also more serious reading has relaxation value.. because in general books don't crash and they don't have so much tension they're so worthwhile, and you can read wider than the world wide web!
This might be really handy to do more automatically with AI to allow ropes away from the cliff often with comedy or things more common than your amazing edits, both action and relaxation..
I've found using a random word with the browser and another random word on the searched page to find the comedy is a major way to be alert to something other than a loop. Or select the three random word option and pick your good side of what the words are (your best words of the batch).
The best was a site named randomwordgenerator.com that generates two random words (three words for more options) just click the randomwords site from your browser list and the words are ready, twice the thesaurus value!
Familiarity with the comedy is even better to a degree. Click on the links you have used before on the browser list for a deeper influence!
This shakes you awake. In a way the internet is a sort of downbeat event with frustration. In the old BC BeforeCyber times they had a frustration button because so many people were so zonked out, this use of random word jokes may be better because the frustrations generally have nothing to do with life, no redeeming social value, and comedy gives you a way to have more than the frustration. Having a great joke to tell leaves you with something to shoe with more redeeming social value!
Without the random word generator otherwise I was using the same words for this, there are only 50 states, and to find more random words, you can simply pick a word then look on the site for another word you can pick there for more options..I like to set it for 3 random words, and then pick my favorites like on my good side of life, or just contradictions with more good than bad (the essence of higher comedy, not just puns).
I alternate between random words for comics and more common words, like music or pizza. Comedy stimulates and has more social value, but it takes more effort to understand, so you may want a default mode when you're tired just to relax and leave, a time for both when most useful.
If the timer padlock is much easier to set up and start may be another major boost to reducing overuse.
I thought this product possibly a ring or a wristband and a simple button, to quickly set your timer padlock like by speech recognition, would be a major boost in people's ability to resist overuse, by shortening the distance to the timer lock.
Anytime you think about it you can rest. And I think this might be a good business idea if you're interested in business to sell, there may be a huge market for this because 57 percent are now overusing including 82 percent of gen Z.
My more recent evaluation is that while controlling the timer padlock with the ring idea sounds like a good method, this turns out to cost quite a lot to build and it would take like ten hours of wiring , and if you make one goof, it's gone.
( Has this happened to you? You ask how to solve a problem and you get these complex instructions, and like, on the third or fourth one or worse, on the 20th, you get a button that you can't press with no option of other solutions. Sometimes these events happen when lots of money is involved, old and improved!
For doing banking transfers for example I always slow way down and think about each step. By assuming it's going to be like this, you can actually at least try to allow for the amount of cost it's going to cost you in hopes of compensating with other methods, like a general broad brush method like the timer padlock.)
The ring would also seem to need to have a timer you set built in if it was actually the best and this seems to add complexity and reduce its value as a product. While it might be risky to make and sell relative to the product value, I think this would still have commercial value with scaled up automation. And you can make your own if you like.
Since the ring idea as it is seems complex to achieve, the best workaround might be to move my duffel with the timer lock near the sofa, and then just "stretch around some yoga stretches" and turn it off.
(What's the best way to burn off unsightly fat, not with a butane lighter, remove the snuff!)
This use of the timer close at hand while you surf can have dramatic improvement on your comfort level by increasing the probability by proximity to relief. Remember, you can time out not just for days but I like to time out for an hour or two and then return to the web also on the day I'm online.
When you are told you need go do something like security by this or that app, and it turns out to be out of reach after a $49.95 minute tedious event, you're being hit, because you're learning that being helpless is usual for you.
Your brain needs time to consolidate memories, but worse these cosmic or not so common searches in the cosmos are where you learn what you don't want to remember even if your brain could consolidate them.
In truth while you can't be uninvolved with the software of gloom yet (AI holds hope in sight, call me a believer on my machine!) The best way seems at any rate by consolidation and the triage method of making a list of most social comical import while offline and resting with the cushion near the padlock, the cushion is most powerful.
After "you've been hit" if you go on computing for an hour or two, my belief is this taints the rest of your surf event, at least about the risk of being so hit you are more likely to just do any link more often, like bad news or click bait, making the experience worse.
For this reason I time it out for a day or two, and when I reach the web in my time on I use the cushion to time out like an hour or two anytime I "feel the burn" especially with the triage list method this seems to work much better because other than having to be involved with what you don't won't!-at any rate you're getting rest for your brain between these times to consolidate the better memories of what's around you.
Except for how artificial it is that it doesn't work half the time and the worst of it, at least you're getting a natural pattern of rest where you rest for a day or two, and then you also are resting between these times when you're hit by the software! If AI arrives for this this may be the best, because it's more like a real rest method like your brain in evolution.
Simple! Like wheel of Fortune, There's one Round Combination to Solve It! I Choose Creative Memo rising!
While It's true you're being hit in a definite way by your computer with overuse by the computer makers who set us up like this or whatever, the value of these methods is that they can be combined.
This is really a defensive weapon against the setup. My favorite combination of the timer padlock and the substitute word search method is to set my alarm each day to open like at 6:00 in the evening (to reduce use when it's locked down most of the day) when I'm ready and then look on my search list for anything I need to search mostly and if not and it's time to go then and I start to wander around a bit what you can do is search a word or words for a joke and then use that as a launching way to go over to your router and time out the padlock and you solved the problem in a major sort of way..You did what you had to and left, I like to write in my books like between the lines with ink I use the page number and a memory number on the page both listed in the front of the book to find right where I am, letting my curiosity be more influence, "Where ever you are planted, flourish there"
