Please help/advice me on what to do...

Its really getting out of hand...

I think phone has really, done more harm to me than good.

It makes me procrastinate... What i will have to do now, i will be tinking of leaving it the next day just to surf on NL.

I makes me lazy... All the time phone.. No time to do other thing, even if i get, i go just receive notification from fb, nl... Hia dere i go no more chores..

Makes me depressed if my ba3 is down, e go just be like say world don end...

Lastly, am currently suffering from finger pain... Too much pim pim pim, my finger they hot like fire...

Some times i go give my friends d phone in other to engage something in one way or thee other... But after dem return am.. Haa.. I go calculate all those days wey i neva press join, come see phone destroyer grin

friends, of a truth am tired of this stuff, i need an advice from you guys... Thanksz.

Switch off notifications from all social media. Discipline yourself to check your sites maybe twice a day. Leave your phone at home if you are going to school/work, or alternatively, dont carry it around on you, leave it in your office.

If it is getting to be an obsession, delete all your social media profiles.

And una want make Nigeria better? sad

70% of her youth spends productive hours on frivolities especially on the Internet whreas they can actually learn something that can benefit them. If u cant develop yourself, how can u develop ur country?

Na dem go still complain pass about their impotent government whereas they have no single ball

Its pathetic tho

Did you interview me before drawing this huge conclusion...70% Obara Jesus!!!

I'm in your shoes but I keep myself in check. Its a thing of the mind.

There are times I just switch off my data, I call it 'Fone holiday'.

Working online also keeps me online but I still check my self

Try this, when your subscription expires, just act as if you don't have money to sub, tell your mind that you can do without your fone. It's not the air you breathe in!!!

Meanwhile, ladies and gents. Check my siggy wink.

Sometimes, we find friendship in the strangest places and I kinda find it in you. I go still slap you if I eventually see you sha oo undecided bcoz I almost deactivate with all the wahala you gave me here undecided. Greater heights bro. Loff you plenty kiss

It's easy. Just delete the Facebook app and NL app you have on your phone and go manual (www. Blah blah blah . Com)
Switch off all alert tone for your whatsapp and other chatting application.. Trust me it works real good for me.
And one more thing:::
Go get a job.

mehn, mine iz tew much ooo,,,

so how should i handle my mindset, in oda to deal wit dis monsta darris takin ova me? @ HateU2 wat are you insinuating?
U know no matter what p pipo say here its up to u. Force urself not to subscribe may or may not work, I personally cnt do without data, but I do succeed in keeping it aside when I need to do stuff, rada than procrastinate doing oda stuff or chores. I procrastinate touching the phone when I have to work and I silence the bloody thing at such times so temptation wnt come. when praying silence it, chores and taking care of yourself, silence it. ur more important than the phone. Besyds this makes me think u dnt have a job (no b yarb) I work from home editing videos and at such times I keep the phone far/charging and silence it so I dnt hear it and I see it as too far away for me to get. Well its a real struggle. You hav to start doing other things sha that makes the phone less interesting, when out playing a sport like football or tennis, who cares abt a phone. But how finger dey pain una, thats anoda levu. aint it touch screen Y'all using?

The only way you get do away with your phone is to get a job if you 're a graduate but if still in school I urge you to be invole in extra curricular activities; church, school etc. All these bad habits is as a result of boredom.

Brother if that phone is not part of your side income i.e. if you are not using for the purpose of earning a living getting a Life would suffice; hangout with friends ( even if say dem too must get the same ogbanje problem), read a book (Mills and Boon not included), argue with your street professors( ndi ama mi ihie no na street unu) and better still learn a new language.

If all these haven't helped, get a "DUMB PHONE". ( Any phone costing less than 3000 naira with a monochromatic screen) grin grin grin

Babu wahala megida! Vex ke? Who vex epp? Life is too short to b vexing upandan o!

Don't dismiss a statement of fact like that, it's someone's/some people's effort(s) over a period of time. It might not b totally correct, but it's not incorrect. Abi u no do research for school ni? Lol! Take a quick survey around u and see. I might not reply u again tho...work resumes by8

you're addicted to it anyway...you need to get busy more with other things than your phone....when you're busy, got tired, you won't be able to surf the net more than just receive calls...

I need an advice from you guys... Thanksz.
It is very obvious you are idle, hence the heavy phone usage. I run offline and online business. Even though, I am supposed to spend more time online yet I find it difficult to do so. All you need is to find a way to make money from the time spent online. If your online activities isn't inline with self development, adding coin to your purse. Then, sorry you're on a long thing.
Chat me up on WhatsApp to know how you can even make money here on Nairaland. See my signature for contact.
