    I study for 4 hours then get bored play games for 2 then even that is boring. I feel like staring at a wall for 8 hours. Before when I was fapping it took up about 5-8 hours everyday. How do I get to 7 days like this? What can I do besides study 24/7?
     
  2. Go for a walk in the park

    What kind of future do you want, and what steps can you take now to make that happen?

    Physical activity would be great for you.

  4. This is the best and obvious solution to your boredom. Do you have a job?

    I assume you are in school since you study, so why not get a job so you can start making some money. I am a full time college student with a part time job, and I’m studying pre-med.

    Also link up with friends and go out with them. Don’t have any? Go out and find some. It’s not hard to make friends, it’s really not.

    Pick up hobbies, maybe lifting weights or playing a sport. Go to your local gym and play ball there. You like to play games, I assume video games, the GTA should be coming out soon, so you can make some friends online and play with them.

    Try to find a relationship with a girl/guy, whatever your into, and start spending time with them.

    Do what makes you happy, but also make sure you have your priorities straight. Focus on NoFap, and focus on school.

    are you a student? if so then things could be easier as you have to attend school
     
  6. You should take up a hobby, i make scale models. well i haven't done for a while but i'm busy with other things at the moment. I highly recommend some kind of creative venture, for me most of my time is taken up with home improvements but i guess at your age that's not something you will be able to do.

    Some suggestions i have.

    Learn a new skill like drawing or painting
    Make models
    Find an active hobby, like cycling, badminton, martial arts or just gym
    Learn to play an instrument
    Read up on a subject that interests you, history, technology etc
    Get a part time job, leaflet delivering, newspaper round, help out at a local shop
    Volunteer for a charity, doesn't have to be in a shop, could be litter picking in local beauty spots for example

    There's loads of stuff we can do to occupy our time and often the hardest part is making the first step. Us porn addicts have become too accustomed to getting instant gratification at the click of a button, in some way gaming is a bit like that too but all be it much less negative.

    I've found that learning to appreciate long term gain is really important because when we do something that takes effort and patience and complete it, we get a well deserved sense of pride and things like that help us to grow into better people. That's my 2 cents
