that's how long the refresh should take to remind you how useless many of your bad-habit time-wasting activities really are. from there you should be able to demonstrate some discipline. generally the bigger challenge is the mind control in the first step. the laziness leads to looking for easy answers which leads to predetermined conclusions and destinations (feeling a void.... there is stuff on internet... stuff must be better than void... void must be filled and void can be filled immediately before i even finish this tho... but the void isn't filled. it is simply replaced by a new, slightly larger one for which the lazy/tired mind again seeks out the easiest "solution"... and on it goes)..
just for one second, "guess" what you're going to see.
were you right?
does that tell you anything?
does that make you feel any different?
course i'm ignoring the actual first step, the acknowledgement that i, too, may actually have some time-wasting bad habits, and as such am not even close to the perfect person i have always thought i have been, an assumption that has colored darn near every decision i've made, especially in terms of when and how to judge others for falling short of my presumed standard.
but back to the initial point: guess, check, improve. and if at first you don't succeed, simply try again next time. it won't take long.
