WikiHow is a fantastic website, used by millions of people. But sometimes, wikiHow is used too much! It is fine to review your Talk Page messages, answer them, maybe write a new Article. That should be about an hour and then a break and then maybe another hour then later on in the day. Maybe four hours at the most. Any more than that can be called a wikiHow addiction. Do you have an addiction? Read this article and we'll have that addiction gone within a week!
Edit Steps
- 1Assess your problem. Reading the Introduction might help. About 3-4 hours on wikiHow a day, with short breaks in between. The breaks should be about 10-20 minutes long. Think back, have you ever actually had a break? If yes, how many? It should be one every half an hour/hour. If you have or haven't had any breaks, just carry onto the next step.
- 2Get a calendar. It can be a cute pattern,photo, anything that makes you feel happy. On the Monday square write the current amount of time you have on the computer. On the Tuesday square, write the usual. Wednesday square, 1 hour less. Thursday square, the same amount as Wednesday. Friday, 1 hour less than Thursday, and so on...
- 3Actually use the dates on the calendar and set yourself a timer for the right time. When the timer goes of, don't just say 'I'll have another 5 minutes' and carry on. Instead say 'wikiHow will still be here tomorrow, and I can do everything then' because the old '5 minutes' saying, usually turns into '10 minutes,' '15 minutes'...
- 4Find something else to do on the computer, but have breaks in between these as well! There are some great websites out there, which are like wikiHow but not as good as wikiHow. Like bored.com and Yahoo! Answers. This should stand in for wikiHow for a little while at the least.
- 5With your wikiHow addiction gone, try to swap these steps to the computer. Because some people have a computer addiction not a wikiHow addiction.
Edit Tips
- Chill some water with ice cubes and slices of fruit and put it in the fridge. That way, you have to get up from wikiHow to get it.
- Turn down the computer brightness down to the very lowest if you are using wikiHow more than 4 hours even after looking at this! If you can't see wikiHow, how can you be on wikiHow?
