Refocus your Career: How To Kick Out Nairaland Addiction by esere826: 5:03am On Dec 15, 2012 |
Hello everyone, are you addicted to Nairaland? is it ruining your career? are you spending valuable time on Nairaland instead of on other financially rewarding pursuits? Do you want to be free from this addiction? I'll give you tips on how you can rid yourself of this addiction |

Step 1: Ensure that you are not following a crowd If you are following a large number of people on NL, you will always be tempted to read their write ups You could be at the office daydreaming of what Ishilove, physicsqed, Seun, Naptu2, Ajanlekoko and 60 more must have written while you where away It is worse when you are following prolific writer/commentators who make interesting comments on every article that he or she reads on NL When you smile sheepishly while at your desk, everyday at the office, then I guess its time to shake off the NL addiction Solution -If you're following a crowd, the solution might be to gradually 'loose them and let them go' unfollow some of them. one Nairalender at a time |

Step 2 Minimise your comments on thread When you make comments in NL threads, the topic automatically pops up as a 'followed topic' when anyone makes additional comments This pulls you to want to have a view of the latest commentaries/thinking in that thread You might also find that you are curious to know what others might have made of your comments This could mean you'd be reading through loads of comments searching for any reference to you or your posts Solution - subdue your impulse to make comments on many threads - unfollow some silly topics -'why do girls have no P.P's'- that you had previously made comments on - instead of reading through every post looking for reactions to your comments, simply do a 'ctrl F' on your keypad type in a part of your name eg ('eser' instead of 'esere826') or comment and then click to search. Do this on every page, and you would quickly see views on your comments |

Step 3 Minimise the number of threads you open Yep. it takes a lot of man hours for you to initiate a thread -especially if you actually put some thinking into it (much easier if your thoughts-to-action life-cycle is GiGo -Garbage in, Garbage out) When you intitiate a thread, there is a tendency for you to constantly check on that thread. its almost like your baby. you might see yourself constantly rereading what you and other commentator wrote on the thread. driving off throlls and derailers, refocussing the arguments etc Like Narcissus, you might even see yourself counting towards a targetted number of hits on your thread All of this ends up taking valuable time. Imagine spending your entire Saturday every week on NL instead of studying for your ACCA. Jeez!!! get a life Solution -minimize the number of threads you initiate -grow out of counting the number of hits (views) on your thread -get a real life, not an e-life |

Step 4 Avoid fights in Nairaland like a plague You know those fights you get into in NL Fights about English language, folks papa and mama being the cause of your opponents genetically shaped stupidity etc Well, they have a way of tieing you down to Nairaland. You might see yourself in the office seething over the last written comment made by your opponent, while mentally crafting the right insults/curse to hurl at him at the place it hurts most You might also see yourself checking the thread regularly for cursing and swearing updates from your opponnent PyschoAnalysing him/her by searching previous posts dating all the way back to 2006 *SMH* You might soon start stalking your opponents around the entire forum threads looking for where you can give him a deadly blow. Smash his head once and for all (Can you just imagine what your life has become on NL!!) Solution -Avoid fights on NL -Quickly curse your opponent with as much passion as possible and unfollow the thread -Do not look back on the thread as Lot's wife did and turned to a pillar of salt -See a doctor.

Step 5 Do not fall e love Try not to fall in elove on the NL thread It is almost as dangerous as the real thing but without the associated physical pleasures It saps you energy thinking about that guy or gurl who only mentally exists Probably wa#k if you have to, but please don't get distracted by emotional inexcusables in the electronic world Imagine a guy chasing after an e-girl for say 2 years, then discovering that the e-girl was actually always a guy Love is capable of distracting you on its own. Why heap on more torment with e-love, e-flowers, e-sex etc Solution -exchange phone numbers and call quickly to ascertaing true s.ex and interests -Muster enough courage to toast your neighbours daughter. Its more healthy - it is not all that e-glitters that is gold. She/he might actually be a hermit leaving in a cage in real life. with drooping boobs or a little pp. You really need to stay focussed on your career. Avoid em 1 Like |

Step 6 Review -Watch your 'followed topics' whittle Yep, after fighting the good fight you will soon notice that the updated threads that you are following gets fewer and fewer by the day Now you know you are truelly free free enough to flee from seductresses and temptresses Its time to pick the pieces of your life and reinvigorate your career fill up your now empty moments with seminars, reading HBR and McKinsey quartely stay ahead of the curve The only problem is that now u've already tasted the forbidden fruit you are now a socially charged and changed animal having tasted the excesses of NL You now know that some humans are way ahead of the curve, whilst others are em. ...chewing the chord You've followed the steps, now you are free (or free-er) from the addiction of NL but still connected by an umblical chord to the forum because u dropped some of your best ideas in it |
