Violette Vanek: find a way to make something productive entertaining.Colliage isn't for every one. If you find making unike crafts entertaining, start an E-bay store.try unplugging your computer and TV for a week or going camping in a tent for a week without any appliances. Maybe you could be someone who invents computer games. You could start blogging and later on turn all taht into a book...Show more
Star Gollnick: if ur smart u could possibly go into producing and testing video games
Providencia Serpe: Well, it may seem you are addicted to entertainment but you are really addicted to your own adrenaline rushing when some exciting event is happening. That is what most people are addicted to. And you seek that rush of adrenaline because everything else seems boring.Hard to break your addiction, especially now that entertainment has permeated everything. Religion, news, even science is often polluted with entertainment. You can always figure that out when ! everything is diluted down to a very simple level that doesn't require any thought. Well, what I suggest is that you start looking at the entertainment with a more critical eye and start finding fault with it until you realize how really boring entertainment is. Like riding a stupid roller-coaster your entire life that goes nowhere and repeats the same stuff over and over.The smarter you are the sooner you will realize that you are simply being used as a consumer. And consumers only have one purpose "work to make money and then spend that money on the products that are advertised in the entertainment". You are a sucker up to now. A purposeless sucker....Show more
Adelle Weight: Visit a soup kitchen. Instant motivation.
Samatha Nicar: This is going to sound painfully ironic coming from an internet answers forum, but still:Once you're done reading this answer, quit your browser. Shut down your computer. Shut it down; don't just put it to sleep. Put some sho! es on. Go outside. City or a 'burb? Doesn't matter. Walk o! utside. In the air. No phone. No iPod. No electronic tether of any kind. No soundtrack from earbuds.It might be nighttime, or raining...there may be some reasons you have to cut your sojourn short. That's OK; unless you're in the middle of a hurricane or lightning storm, do it anyway. If you see a person on the street, or a neighbor, smile and say "hi." When you're alone again, think about that person. Think about the world from that person's point of view. Imagine their life--make it up--and then imagine their friends, their relatives. Make a point of connecting, even with a smile, with all of the people you see.This is a practice reconnecting with the non-digital environment. And it is practice thinking outside of your self. It is practice imagining yourself as not a brain plugged into a Matrix-like system of pleasures, but a real person connecting with other real people with connections to yet others....ie., it is practice remembering *what it means to be human! *. I'm not being flip here. I recommend doing this daily. And I think you will find that it helps with what you've mentioned above. I think we can all, those of us with the dubious "privilege" of being "wired," benefit from controlled, deliberate detachment from our techno-tethers. You might be a lovely, outgoing person, but the internet and the "instant gratification" sources of entertainment you're using are changing your brain. Literally. You are being rewired in your head by the things you are playing with, and it is changing you to the point where you can't focus, be productive, or otherwise be the person you actually want to be. You aren't alone. But you can change it.Turn it off now, and go be human. :)...Show more
