Have you ever wondered if you spend too many hours looking at your cell phone? Or maybe the computer. There is an expression in English that I quite like, called being hooked. It means to be excessively attracted to something and almost unable to resist it.

- I'm hooked on doing sports.

- But I've never seen you exercise.

- I have a lot of willpower, and I'm able to resist it.
