We all fall in love with items and then start using it everyday. After some time the thing becomes an obsession and takes over some parts of your life. As the world gets smarter this will be more and more common.
The best way to reduce addictive tendencies is to try and make the action less accessible. This could mean putting extra obstructions in the way or just not doing things that will not require you to get close to the item.
Another approach is to find other more healthy activities to replace this item or action. The best thing would be to make it at least a bit enjoyable and to try and repeat it consistently.
Don’t let items and behaviours dictate how you spend your time. Take control of your life and you might realise you have so much more time to enrich yourself.
