Nah i get u. Sometimes particular theads on this forum can be quite addicting.
For those of u having issues with fb, change it to a computer generated password, write it down and give it to ur parents. That way u only use it when u rlly need to KD

Okay someone here understands me for once lol

But what I do (many thanks to one user on this forum. Shall credit him by putting his name up here, Sien) is activate stayfocusd so then it blocks me from this forum from time to time

Also thanks to another user (Dragon900) there is another program called "Coldturkey" which can block sites for you

For programs like Steam, I have no idea of what you use in order to block that. I think coldturkey

I'm so glad I have stayfocusd activating again :)

Now to concentrate without the need to spend so much time on BOS :)

I felt the need to revive this thread after so long

@Rathin-this is how I get distracted by this forum

It's X'o clock and I've decided to go on BOS. Whenever I go on BOS, I'm supposed to do something educational (e.g. posting a question for help and/or looking into the threads for exam advice of some sort) and then all I a sudden I tell myself, before I make my educational post, I'll just look around in the threads to see if there's any interesting conversations, so I look into the chit chat threads and look at the conversations and after wasting an hour doing that I just realised "Oh shit, I wasted 1 hour looking through all the conversations when I was supposed to come here for 10 minutes and post my question(s) and/or look for exam advice/study technique. What am I going to do?"

You see how I get distracted by BOS now?
