View Full Version : Help, I'm addicted to Facepunch

So it's the first week of school, and so far I have not done any of my homework until a half-assed attempt at around 12:30 at night, every night. Considering how I wake up at 6:30 to catch the bus, this is BAD. Very often, I miss a few assignments. Right now, I have a missed assignment for every class, and one test I think I'm getting a C on.

I'm in full-fucking-Honors classes, including one AP class. I am not one to take my homework lightly.

So what happened? Facepunch.

I think I've been overstimulated- Posts occur within seconds, and I feel like I MUST read all of those posts, and respond when I can.

In fact, I've stopped coming to this group as often (:() because of Facepunch.

Somebody help, I can't go through the school year like this- I'm a straight-A student and I can't let myself or my parents down like this :(

Throttle your bandwidth during times of the day you do your homework so page loading is unbearably long.

Learn some self control, if need be I'll ban you from here to help.

Don't worry, it's not problem, I'm happy to do it.

Throttling your bandwith probably won't help as then you'll be able to give in and turn it up again easily.

Needs to be something harder.

Believe me this helps out big time. I was having some problems with self control and a little ban helped out. After a few months, I was good to go.

Give your PC power cable to a family member to hide/keep from you until you complete the specific assignment/project/studying. It works. Believe me.

Like him, I thought facepunch was a play on words (of facebook).

You've let a website interfere with your life. Congratulations.

How would I go about doing this?
If you have a good router, you'd be able to do it through there. If you need a simple way of doing it, then try this Firefox plugin:

Or you can install some other apps.

You could also just cut your cable.

Yeah, I'm like this, it's a mix of H2Vista and /b/.

My cure: Music major. Senior year schedule (begins tomorrow actually):
1: Java AP
2: English 12
3: Calculus GT
4A: Internship
4B: Jazz Band
5: Concert Band
6: Internship

The internship is at a middle school music department. w00.

Seeing that school has already begun for you, thus locking you into the year schedule, my suggestion is to develop a serious psychological problem, one that will excuse your sudden decline of work ethic. Worked for my freshman year.

Destroying your internet and disabling your computer are impractical solutions to his problem. I'm sure he does a lot of computer related school work.

I'm kind of like this as well, I lose hours on forums. For instance, I've just realized I should be sleeping.

Get firefox if you haven't already and use LeechBlock: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4476

Sure, you can get around this "protection" if you REALLY want to. But a simple reminder that says "no internet for you now" is normally enough to get you back to work.
