Ask HN: How do I avoid scrolling to the death?
3 by baby | 2 comments on Hacker News.
I get distracted easily. I often check messaging apps/twitter/fb/reddit/hn throughout the day. I’ve set up a time limit on my phone for these apps but I always bypass it. I have a host file to redirect these websites to localhost but I’m constantly commenting these lines out. My router is configured to cut the internet connection for my devices after 8pm but I always override it. These things actually worked in the beginning, but I became so good and fast at bypassing them that they don’t work anymore. My happiest times are when I don’t have internet at home, or I’m in the plane/train, or working at a cafe without wifi. How do I avoid all these distractions and these addictions in our always-on world?
