Hangs on to it in background

I bet Markz knows something to do to let go of it each time.

A CPU only has a set amount of resources to run multiple threads at a time. By raising the priority of the applications in foreground, you leave over less processing power for the applications in the background. Eventually the system would either force kill the background apps or at least hibernate them depending on the OS setup.

Your brain works in a similar fashion. By being fully in mind with the task at hand, you leave less room for background thoughts. It can be called mindfulness, living in the moment, or similar names. One of the ways to get rid of background thoughts, is to overpower it with positive conscious thoughts.

Hatzlocha Rabba!

I think it depends on whether you are an addict or not. I can't let go of it just by being super busy.

Not acting out or viewing inappropriate material 

If you have no access to inappropriate material, then you can't view it! Filter your devices, and throw out any literature that you might have.
