I've done no surf for two weeks and i've found myself more productive than EVER before! Since getting back on, I ask myself "will this make me money or benefit me in any sort of way?". If the answer is no, I stop doing it and move on to something else (like look for clients, exercise, read a physical book).
Another thing i've done was go into the terminal of my computer and block certain websites. I make the process VERY difficult so if I feel the urge to do something I shouldn't be doing, i'll know it won't be worth it.
Black Americans are the biggest consumers or social media and internet and it's damaging us BIG time. We're more interested in the lives of people we'll never meet than we our building our own community. It's sickening.

Reminds me of Tim Ferris :-)

Didn't know its mainly blacks, however, social media makes people socially retarded if they use it too much.

Ain't that the truth! I didn't know how socially retarded I was until I left my comfort zone and returned. Sure, reading books was good and all but actually making mistakes AND having people tell me I was screwing up was NECESSARY for my growth. Those folks didn't have to tell me but they did and my life has been better because of it. I surrounded myself around people who were too afraid to tell me the truth because I was "too emotional" but people that hardly knew me told me off and that's that.

I'll have to try those apps out! Thanks!
To grow confident socially and in life in general we have to push for rejection and face our fears, you described that very well.
One scary action per day, every day.
