wikiHow is a wonderful community of so many rich and diverse topics. It is terribly engaging and one can get him or herself caught up in reading article after article, page after page. However, when is enough? How can we stop?


Steps

1. Decide that it's time for a change of scenery. This mostly comes after having spent several hours, or months browsing through articles. There's a point where there must be a conscious decision to do something else.
2. Close the browser window. In Windows, that usually means clicking the little [X] in the top right corner of the screen. If you're using MAC OS, Linux, B, or any other operating system, refer to the manual or improvise.
3. Do something else. This may include visiting a different website Wikipedia, for instance, has many engaging articles), using the rest room, helping your elderly neighbor rake leaves or go shopping, or perhaps you could play a musical instrument (the trombone's a good one).
4. Remove from your bookmarks and toolbars any links which will allow you to get to wikiHow without typing the address in your address line.
