What can I do in my free time, without using technology, like laptop, smartphone?

Paint, draw, do chores, take out dogs, journal, do exercise, fix something, go for a walk, take pictures (with a professional camara, I do it with my phone tho, lol) organize your drawers or papers (the last one is not like...wow, so exciting!, but it's the one that I enjoy the most, I am weird)

I hope it helps you

 

Join a club, join a gym, get competitive with something, read non-fiction. Theres lots of stuff dude, get after it.

 

Learn an instrument

 

You can sit in silence and let your imagination run wild (maybe wait until you’ve kicked tempting thoughts out before trying this one)

You can tie a rope between trees and walk on it.

You can find friends & play cards or board games.

You can go to the library. Books of all kinds there.

 

Clean your room

Join the gym

Socialise

Meet a girl.

 

You can tie a boot to a rope, push it as hard as can, bend over and let it hit you in the butt. Repeat 100 times.

The idea is there's a lot of stuff you COULD do in your free time. The question is what would you like to do? What burning passion do you have that you'd like to spend some time working on?

 

I am going to second that. Only as one musician told me, "Learn from a book and not an online vid, because otherwise you'll have the distraction of your porn, your email, all that other stuff right there." You can get a nice violin off Amazon these days for around $70, the harmonica is the world's best selling instrument, and pawn shop guitars can be a real steal. If you get a cheap clone of a brand name guitar and it seems playing is your thing, you can always change out the cheap pickups it came with for genuine brand name ones available on Amazon later. It's easy to do. Plus, ya know, the ladies really like a guy who can play an instrument.

 

watch youtube, watch game of thrones, watch breaking bad, play games, look up news, watch documentaries... xD No seriously tho, why not use your laptop and smartphone? "Because there's porn in it and I can't control myself!" Well, is that the fault of technology or yours? If you lack self-discipline why do you remove the opportunity to train self-discipline? It's easy not to do something when you can't. The hard part is not to do it even tho you can. Too many people around here take the easy way with internet blockers and technology abstinence. And when I call them out on it it's always the same excuse: "It's only for the beginning man, you don't know how addicted I am!!" Guess what, for your brain, there's no such thing as training for "a beginning". Your brain trains for permanence, always. So when you train yourself to be porn-sober without access to laptop or smartphone, that's exactly what you get good at and nothing else. Meaning as soon as you allow yourself access again, or deinstall internet blockers for that matter, the battle starts anew because it's a different situation.
Don't take shortcuts, it'll only take you longer.

 

Blockers and that dont work. You have to change your lifestyle. If you dont watch porn for 5 months and have an unfulfilling boring life you will still be depressed and go back to porn eventually.
