Now a days entertainment are very cheaply available to us which are forcing us to be a much more consumers. Because it increases the dopamine which is a chemical messenger involved in rewarding us and motivating us to do that same thing again and again. In one word this is a feel good hormone. So as we feel good and relaxed when we watch a good movie or comedy videos or any challenging game, we want to do it in our spare time.

Be Religious and make your own Rules:-
Yes a little bit religious mindset on certain things will help you a lot in this case. Just make your own rule. Suppose you travel daily to your office.

Say to your mind and to your self that consumption or spending time with those things is A SIN. Yes this is rule defined by you which you will follow daily during your commute or spare time. And also meet with those people only who are helping and motivating you on achieving your goal.
Make A network with the successful people:-
Yes It’s also very important to make and build strong network with like minded people who are very much successful and follow their life style. What they do daily and how they are keeping their daily discipline on doing this mundane thing on daily basis. What is their mindset and how they controls their mind. How they talk to themselves and convince themselves. Just make one of them as your virtual mentor in your mind.And tell your mind to follow their activity. Just talk with them and try to spend more time with them.
As we all now that slow and steady wins the race, So make it a daily routine and remember it, WHATEVER YOU ARE DOING ,WHETHER BE IT SMALL, YOU HAVE TO DO IT DAILY AT ANY COST.
