I have tried a number of things over the years to cut down on my Internet addition. For example: - Getting rid of my smartphone and going back to a flip phone (lasted a year) - Limiting my use of email to a few specific windows during the day (lasted a month or two) - Requiring myself to write things down before looking them up on the Internet (lasted a month or two) - Took the Facebook app off my phone (pretty much permanent) - Periodically giving up Internet news for periods lasting from a couple of weeks to a month or two (works whenever I'm actively doing it) Some of them have worked for a while, but I seem to eventually go back to the default. The experiment I'm currently running is turning off the web browser on my iPhone. I started that about a week ago, and really like it so far. I don't have an email app on my phone (I use the Gmail web interface), so it really reduces the urge to pull out my phone and check email or look things up.
