I consider the above advice pretty good (to be taken as prescribed, with a grain of salt). I would add to the list of "things to avoid" (hard drugs, marriage, mortgage, child): spending weekday time in front of movies/games.

Save recreational activities to do with friends on the weekend - just like sex the novelty will wear off, and they just aren't as fun solo.
