Hey winners,
I just watched 7 episodes of Neon Genesis Evangelion this weekend, and I am not proud of myself.
For the past year, I have resorted to watching a shit ton of Youtube videos (educational and otherwise) and anime to numb one problem in my life: anxiety. Anxiety on not knowing what my career would like, and social anxiety, too. I am doing much, much better now than I was for the last few months, so there's not much of a problem now on that front.
However, old habits die hard. What's worse is that this was a created habit. I generally like to watch Youtube videos and anime minimally to keep up with pop culture and enjoy myself from time to time, but I have the problem of watching it before I finish my tasks, and I tend to binge, too.
What I've done so far: just tell myself to stop it. I'm just relying on pure willpower here, and I just end up not doing my goals when I give in (which is most of the time). What's worse was that I was totally free this weekend, but I felt like I wasted it away instead of learning and moving towards my goals..
Anyone here have any tips and suggestions to curb too much Youtube and anime? Or do you guys just recommend me to drop all of this at once?
