want. The Internet is a valuable tool, but it's easy to find yourself disturbed by it. For example, you're working on an essay, and you need to do some search online. 1　 Before you know it, you've spent an hour reading more information than you'll be able to use. Maybe you notice an attractive title or something else that draws you away from your work. 2　

Addiction to social media is closely related to our general addiction to the Internet. Everyone is always on their phones. 3　 As a result, when I get to work, I don't have enough attention and energy to put toward the task. If this sounds like you, then your productivity has suffered because of the way you use the Internet.

　4　 So we should learn to live with it. The only way to stop the Internet from occupying all your time and concentration is to disconnect. When you disconnect, you'll get your attention back and work productively. Thus, when working on a challenging task, keep your phone out of reach. Meanwhile, go into your work with the intention of having greater focus and energy so that you'll be discouraged from using the Internet. 5　 This pressure will help you get the job done on time.

A. Your search terms bring back 20 pages of results.

B. On the whole, the Internet can be a help or a block.

C. It will draw your attention to more important matters.

D. The Internet has changed the way our world functions.

E. As a result, time disappears but you still don't finish your work.

F. I have surely caught myself checking my phone every ten minutes.

G. Besides, you can force yourself to complete your task in the fixed time.
