Admit you are at risk of an addiction.
Set aside limited time for computer use.
Make sure not to turm it on too many times a week. If you have a laptop, make sure to put it somewhere that you can remember but not somewhere that you see every day. Try keeping the lid closed when you are not using it.

If you are free on weekends, call friends and ask them to go outside. This will distract you from the computer. If you have a problem on weekdays, phone your friends orask for help in person.

【推荐2】We may be living in the digital age, but reading books is still a big part of growing up. When they’re in primary school, children read books that really challenge them. But once they reach secondary school, the level of difficulty doesn’t change much. Secondary school students tend to read books which are also read by upper primary students. They are not challenging themselves enough.
To discover these trends, I analyzed data collected by Accelerated Reader (AR) software, which asks pupils to check their understanding of the books they’ve chosen to read. The difficulty — which I call “readability”.
I also created two lists of books: one for the books that most secondary pupils had chosen to read, and another for the books they had voted as their favorites. According to the readability, these students’ favorite books tend to be much more advanced than the other books they chose, but they could still understand them. The rest of the books most often chosen by them are quite simple.
You might think that students who read harder books might make more mistakes and understand them less well. But students’ quality of comprehension does not depend on the difficulty of the book, no matter what year of secondary school they’re in. Having an interest is the most obvious factor here — if you like the book, you try hard to really understand it.
As children become teenagers, they listen less to advice from adults and more to advice from kids of their age. So, rather than trying to lecture young people on the benefits of Jane Austen, we should make the nature of the problem clear to them. Students should challenge each other to read more difficult books. Adults could help by setting up noticeboards or organizing social media networks for young people to share their recommendations. And teachers can lend a hand by setting aside time for reading in school. Young people will realize the problems that come when they don’t challenge themselves to read difficult books.

【推荐2】A People’s History of the United States by Howard Zinn
Published in 1980, A People’s History of the United States is an absolutely invaluable examination of the history of the US told not from the point of view of those with power, but those with none—the factory workers, the poor, the women and minorities upon whose backs the US was built. Zinn’s remarkably cohesive (有凝聚力) and conversational work offers a historical view on America that many of us have never considered.
Tao of Jeet Kune Do by Bruce Lee
Published in 1975, Tao of Jeet Kune Do includes various notes and essays by the great Bruce Lee. Far from simply a martial arts book, it illustrates that Jeet Kune Do—the system which Lee invented—is as much a system of thought and an approach to life as it is a way of fight. Tao of Jeet Kune Do is a fascinating and stimulating read. It reflects the thoughts of one of the great human minds of our time.
The Courage to Write by Ralph Keyes
While Ralph Keyes’ conversational guide is an invaluable tool for those who hopes to be writers, it is equally eye-opening for those who simply enjoy reading. The origin of Keyes’ insight lies in his over three decades of teaching writing and is appealing to writers of all levels. Comments from successful authors illustrate how they overcame difficulties in their creative processes. Originally published in 1995, The Courage to Write has become a standard book for ambitious writers.
At Home: A Short History of Private Life by Bill Bryson
