Extinguishing a Habit

Breaking habits is the inverse of establishing them.

Instead of easy, attractive, obvious, and rewarding features of the habit cycle, make it hard.

The most obvious time waster is social media. Habit forming games like Candy Crush can burn lots of time. Sports gambling is a problem habit for many adults. The easiest way to make 'playing' hard is to delete the app. 

When the bad habit disappears, replace it with a better one - work around the house, reading or study, more time and focus on developing your physical presence.

Volleyball jump exercises. Three simple ones:

Single leg jump rope
Drop jumps - be safe!
Lateral shuffle to jump (blocking simulate)...maximal effort.
