dead_neopets··on How to overcome Phone Addiction
Habits are related to our environment. Your brain is probably wired to your current living arrangements and taking a vacation- with the added caveat that you know you have no internet- means no behaviors. This is why people can easily get sober in rehab and then come home and instantly relapse.

Ive spent the last 2 years slowly learning how to read books again. It's hard when a decade of internetting fucked your attention span. Thankfully, it's a skill you can retrain! I started reading a few pages at a time and now I can focus for chapters at a time. It just takes practice.
