Answer 1

Run! Seek professional help. I, also, am addicted to this damn thing, which amounts to not much more than mental masturbation.

Try this. Close your eyes. Tell yourself you're on a site with a bunch of teenagers, 99% of whom are trying desperately to insult either Christians, immigrants, or George Bush. There's nothing going on here.

Now go. Be free. Sign out. Live your life. You have learned much, grasshopper.

This site is quite addicting. I am a stay at home mom and I have duties to do around the house. My daughter is also quite addicted to this site so we have worked out an arrangement of how to get things done around the house. When I get up in the mornings, I start the laundry first thing before I even walk in to the room with the computer. My daughter does the dishes so when you exits her room she turns to the right so she can get her chores done. Our computer is right outside my daughters door. My husband gets a bit irritated about me getting on the computer but he plays the playstation so whats the difference.
Do you stay on it during the hours that you need to sleep?? If not, when you go to bed take a notebook with you & write down what needs to be done the next day & make that your top priority. You will soon notice that if you do that every night & get up with the enthusiasm that you will do your adult responsibilities before play time then as the days go by you will have plenty of time to get on yahoo answers and help others. Another thing that will help you, is put a very hard seat in front of the computer. If your seat is comfortable you relax to easy & that makes it harder to get away from the computer>>>my chair belongs to my dinette set & I can't stand to sit on it more than an hour at a time. Good Luck..& I hope that if work is part of your adult responsibilities that you do go to work.

Well, if you don't take ANY of the advice you get from asking your question and are still on the computer in 15 minutes ( check your watch right now ) ...

....you should realize this is a waste of your time. Isn't that enough insight for you?

Come back tonight. It won't kill you and you'll get things done in the meantime.

Answer 4

Ask yourself, is earning points to ascend to the next level truly worth it?
If so, rationalize you are providing a service to the vast internet community, and your responsibilities can wait.
If not, try limiting attention to worthwhile questions.
