> instead of falling for a craving or a desire, jot it down and meditate on it, think it through. Ask yourself: "What else can I do?"

I will quite literally "ride out boredom" by lying down in bed and ponder into nothingness at times as a means to procrastinate. Maybe even fall into choice paralysis and end up doing nothing as I spend all my time arguing over what is most productive. I thought video games and internet were the problems, but I think it's just coping mechanisms for loneliness and depression.
