How I got rid of my k-drama addiction?

Well I was once a k-drama addict, & watched over 60+ dramas in 2-3 months...in these two months while the whole world is running on I was in front of my laptop watching k-dramas without sleeping / eating / working{/studying} etc... Do you know when I realized it I have tons of pending work{which I never usually have..}, lost some of my memory😂😂, not understanding what to do...

So if you are also similar to me then you are also addicted to k-dramas....there is no reason to deny it. Accept it that makes you decrease your addiction.

You know what? Watching a good k-drama is the best way to relax yourself or relieve your stress. When you started to see you will even forget your problems if it is a funny/serious/..some other genre drama. But some times we can't stop watching one after another dramas...{like I liked Lee Do-hyun's acting in Hotel del Luna so I watched him in 18 again[in this case I watched 2 only{as he is new} but some times for example. lee jong suk I watched 9-10 at a time} [This ain't a good sign!!].

No matter what I do, how bad I think about k-dramas I still watch k-dramas😭😭.At this time of my life I am not even understanding what I should do?? I am getting addicted over & over at that time these are the ways I decreased my k-drama addiction....

1.Started using MyDramalist!!!

1. When you are going to start a drama you will read about it's story , cast , etc... and you can use comment / review section that will make you watch dramas that are useful only {not starting a useless drama & dropping it}
2. Here you can add what are the dramas you have watched / dropped / plan to watch /... so you can have everything organized...
3. If you are watching more dramas them when you see your profile{& see time watched} then you will get aware that you are wasting your time...

Be my friend on mydramalist here.

2.Just keep on watching until you get sick of it...

As mentioned above I watched 60+ dramas in 2-3 months while doing nothing except watching when I completed 70-80 dramas my taste changed I watched dramas that are superb only{or else dropped}...while I completed almost 80 dramas in 2-3 months it took me 3 months to watch 12 more dramas

• Who knows maybe you will also get sick of it one day....
• Or else realize that entire world is running but you are wasting your time & start studying/working...

3.Find another hobbies / other work that is as exciting as k-dramas...

Note while choosing a hobby :

• Don't choose watching/blogs/vlogs/etc...anything about k-dramas...

As choosing any hobby makes you think less about dramas and slowly you can get rid of it.

These made me watch K-dramas less....but these doesn't work for anyone.....so let's know other ways that might work for you.....

Other ways to quit k-dramas :

These are ways I didn't used but might be helpful to you....

1.Being a workaholic or schoolaholic....

As my drama period started while the world is in lock down{corona virus} I didn't get to do this....anyway if lock down isn't there I wouldn't have even watched dramas....

This might be so much helpful as you keep yourself busy & forget about drama / virtual life...

2.Get a real boyfriend / girlfriend ...💑

Actually I want to get a girlfriend but I just didn't do it / maybe not found one.....

As both live in real world / you will be afraid to tell your partner & quit it....if you get a girlfriend/boyfriend who also watches dramas don't think you will quit dramas.

3.Get a true job / dream job

Get yourself a true job or dream job , then you will quit k-dramas on your own....

4.Use productivity apps in phones / laptops...

Install cold turkey blocker / focus me / etc... in your pc & lock me out / forest /etc... in phone these blockers won't let you hack them so you can keep a block and stop watching dramas ..

Hope you will be also able to stop your addiction over k-dramas...
