How do you escape the mindlessness and numbness of the everyday life?

How do you escape the mindlessness and numbness of the everyday life?
I can't even pick up a book or engage in significant activities without feeling too tired, or restless and craving for the cheap, plentiful entertainment of the modern world.
Help me ascend, Veeky Forums, this is no life for a human being

If youre serious OP, stay off your phone and stay off the internet for a week. No exceptions. Just test it. You will notice such a difference you won't be able to return to that life the way you were. I am absolutely serious

The internet bit is harder, since I work in front of a PC 8 hours a day, and then draw on my notebook at home. Does it work if I stay clear of social media, and other entertainment sites?

That's the plan!

Have you done this and if so why are you here?

You're addicted to instant gratification. If you need to use tech in your downtime at least disconnect from Internet

stop overeating
cut refined carbs
stop watching porn
meditate
use BlockSite
/r/nosurf /r/meditation

I did this for 2 weeks and upped my reading speed from 6 to 10 hours a day, I enjoyed the calmness I felt but I felt more sensitive to the world also, I began to feel anxious, scared and felt a deep melancholy and I started seriously considering suicide and weighing up my reasons for living. I decided to watch firefly one morning and I felt like a kid again, all my worries faded away and I felt happy, I became infatuated with glau again and didn't read a single page for 11 days, trying to chase the feeling of childlike wonder I got which wore off after a few hours.
Feels good to be a soyboy manchild NEET khv I guess.

>not secretly browsing the better parts of reddit but still primarily frequenting imageboards
embarrassing

I tried being a musician but sucked. Now I’m trying to be an author

Is there a study on the average time that is wasted on smartphones and the likes? I wonder if I could read more if I stopped using mine

Limit you internet use to only a few hours a day (dont go cold turkey). Sell your shitty smartphone and get a normal phone, you don't need all that shit, and if you can't control yourself download Cold Turkey.

what do you do?

future authoring program son it's free on pastebin

Yes social and the forums. If it's not work related don't do it. Stop go ogling every stupid fucking thing that comes into your head. Leave your phone in a different room etc. I bought a pack of cards and played solitaire just to have sometbing tangible and to occupy my mind. Worked well
Because I still check on Veeky Forums from time to time. OP needs to detox to get perspective. Didn't say internet is evil. But once I did this I am no longer on Veeky Forums 6 hours a day. Maybe 30 min

That was you coming back to reality faggot. If you had dealt with it and sorted your shit out you'd be fine by now.

my phone broke on new years and it's been great since then

>he thinks the gayest subreddits on that site are based and patrician
if you’re going to be a transcendent crypto-normalfag don’t spend your time on the brainlet subs you mong. there’s nothing honorable or brainchad about being on /r/meditation and the poster i replied to has the diction of a 90 iq beetle

>being addicted to smartphones
Embarrassing.

>mindlessness and numbness of the everyday life

Calm down pal, it's just a bit of soup.
