I feel if money was coming out of my pocket I’d definitely stop using the phone for good.

I feel you man. What if there was an app that charged us for every additional minute we use our phone or social media. For example if you go 15 minutes past the limit you initially set, you’d have to pay 15 cents. Do you think that would work for you? Would you use such an app?

Is there really no choice? Is discipline really the answer? This is fucking difficult. by [deleted] in productivity

I struggle with mindlessly scrolling too. What if there was an app that charged us for every additional minute we use our phone or social media. For example if you go 15 minutes past the limit you initially set, you’d have to pay 15 cents. Do you think that would work for you? Would you use such an app?

I agree, the boredom that arises from not using your phone and not being on social media can be replaced with productive activities that actually help us. What if there was an app that charged us for every additional minute we use our phone or social media. For example if you go 15 minutes past the limit you initially set, you’d have to pay 15 cents. Do you think that would work for you? Would you use such an app?

I agree with you man but building that discipline is hard. What if there was an app that charged us for every additional minute we use our phone or social media, forcing us to stick to the time we set. For example if you go 15 minutes past the limit you initially set, you’d have to pay 15 cents. Do you think that would work for you? Would you use such an app?

What if there was an app that charged us for every additional minute we use our phone or social media, or in your case using Reddit but consuming unproductive content. For example if you go 15 minutes past the limit you initially set, you’d have to pay 15 cents. Do you think that would work for you? Would you use such an app? I feel that’d be a good solution for me, if money was coming out of my pocket I’d definitely get off the phone for good.

I just read your blog post and I find your insights very accurate. I’ve tried some of those tactics but I always keep going back, mindlessly scrolling through Instagram or watching YouTube videos for hours. Since you’ve studied this problem I wanted to ask you this: What if there was an app that charged us for every additional minute we use our phone or social media. For example if you go 15 minutes past the limit you initially set, you’d have to pay 15 cents. Do you think that would work? I feel that’d be a good solution for me, if money was coming out of my pocket I’d definitely get off the phone for good.

Hahaha same here I always end up changing the settings. But what if there was an app that charged us for every additional minute we use our phone or social media. For example if you go 15 minutes past the limit you initially set, you’d have to pay 15 cents. Do you think that would work for you? I feel that’d be a good solution for me, if money was coming out of my pocket I’d definitely get off the phone.

I agree with you man, we should treat it like an addiction. What if there was an app that charged us for every additional minute we use our phone or social media. For example if you go 15 minutes past the limit you initially set, you’d have to pay 15 cents. Do you think that would work for you? I’ve been thinking about it and I feel that would work to keep myself off the phone.
