All the tips on how to spend less time on the internet are great, however at the end of the day that time still needs to be replaced by a more productive pastime if one just isn't feeling it when it comes to productivity. Otherwise, the mind will creatively figure out an endless list of other things to idle time away with. In the past for many people, this might have involved more segmented activities such as quality computer games and the like. But really, I think what most of us would do better with now is more time spent outside with a cardiovascular activity such as cycling or running. I say cardio, because that often eats up a good chunk of time and rests the mind in a way that few other sports can and also because it's essential for physical and mental health and cannot be substituted. Don't worry about the strength stuff immediately if it's not already being done - that will easily follow once the cardio routine is sorted. As popular as 'strength' is right now in fitness circles, cardio is still key and the (evolutionary) root of all health in my view.
