Alguém saberia dizer o significado da expressão: they aren’t going to be things you can quit cold turkey.
Abaixo segue o contexto:
Learn to Wean Yourself Off Your Favorite Time Wasters
When you have time wasters in your life to side track yourself, they aren’t going to be things you can quit cold turkey. Instead, you need to start focusing less on them to ensure that you get more work done in the day. For example, if you check social media every half hour, cut it down to an hour, then every few hours until you can go 8 hours without it.
Grato
