I feel like I spend all my time online and don't have any motivation to do anything productive at all. I don't get out much and i've been feeling extremely lonely and i want to find a way spend some time with other humans. Can you give me some advice on how I can develop a healthier lifestyle and stop feeling so lonely all the time? You can put your answers in a bulleted list with just a short explanation please.

Here are some ideas that may help you feel more connected and motivated:

* Make a specific schedule for activities that aren't online each day, no matter what.  It doesn't matter the activity, or the duration, just that you stick to the schedule. Committing consistently to other activities, even reading, walking, or doing chores, will eventually form better habits.

* Figure out what a few of your interests are and join a club or group related to them.  Video games and other online activities usually have some related local activities if you look. Having hobbies or interests in common is a great way for adults to make friends and start new relationships.

* Take some time and reach out to people you haven't talked to in a while, whether it's family or old friends. A call, text, or email can spark up a past relationship that only lacked a bit of effort, and believe it or not, they probably miss you too.

* Volunteering is a good way to meet new people and feel productive at the same time. You'll have a chance to do some networking, as well as help your local community.

* Going back to school is a great way to renew your motivation and social life.  It doesn't have to be full-time, or to get a degree, it can be as little as one hour a week. Education outside of your job can provide much-needed brain stimulation and many opportunities to meet classmates with similar ideas.

Do these hit the mark that you were thinking of?  Let me know if you would like any changes or other ideas.  I hope these help you feel more connected and productive.
