What are the methods to control myself from using internet?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I cannot control my mind from using internet. Please share with me if any solutions are available.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your problem. Social media kind of increase dopamine levels in the brain. Hence, they could be addictive just like cigarettes. Hence, hard to control. What you need to do is you have to make your schedule tight. Define a short-term goal, focus on achieving it. Reward yourself when you complete the task. This would definitely help you.
