One proposal as to wh% this is the case is #ecause of a potential reduced social support s%stem as a result of the Internet. Internet addiction $here is some controvers% over whether it is possi#le to actuall% #e addicted to the Internet or not.

Once %ou understand where %ou need to improve, %ou will next need to set goals. For example, if %ou notice that %ou are spending a lot of time tal"ing on the phone, %ou will set a personal goal to not ta"e personal calls while %ou@re wor"ing. If %ou have a cell phone, %ou ma% need to turn it o! to reach this goal.
