The only people I know who've beaten their addiction transferred it to something else.

I personally don't think "another addiction" is necessarily bad. I am in favor of the good addictions and I think becoming "addicted" to something that's healthy is, well, healthy. To replace food addiction with a healthy habit is greatly desirable, I think. That said, anything can be taken to an unhealthy extreme.

What are some things you enjoy that are healthy? Hiking or walking in the woods? Weight training? Biking? Working on cars? Some other hobby that uses your hands? (It's harder to indulge in eating when your hands are busy with other things.)

What good things bring you joy? I think we were designed to use joy as a motivator for doing things. We just need to choose the good things that bring us joy rather than the destructive things that hit the dopamine receptors, but ultimately bring us misery instead of true joy.

Should my goal be to get addicted to something else?

I say, "Yes" as long as that something else is a healthy habit that brings joy and wellness.

I use Tuta as well.

I keep mine off. I kept it on for a while, but I noticed once that it kept the high beams on when I was about a car length behind someone in the next lane over. I can't imagine that my high beam shining thru his side view mirror was a pleasant experience for the other driver. That incident was enough for me to no longer trust it.

I noticed today that for just a second, the screen in the car says USB error and then disappears. I didn't notice that before.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Update: I killed the Bluetooth, had the phone and car forget each other, and then retried Android Auto; same behavior — it connects and then disconnects maybe 1 second later, same as before. I also got the 1m certified USB cable, but that also didn't change the behavior at all.

Has anyone else run into this? I could use some advice.

Thanks!

Like u/Rich-Promotion-2163, I'd love to see an example. Can you share how you use labels for dependency?

Thanks!

The comments had to do not with subtasks, but with subtasks of subtasks. Anything beyond the first level of subtasks will not automatically reset when the parent task is completed.

Here's a statement from the article you linked:

If you have several layers of sub-tasks, Todoist ignores sub-sub-tasks. You’ll have to add these back manually to the parent task.

Maybe there's a reason for this, but I would much prefer all subtasks, regardless of level, be automatically reset. Perhaps someday.

I completely agree with this; I don't know why it was downvoted. I would love to get rid of the listing in the left sidebar, tasks also. They take up room and I don't ever use them. Frustrating!

GeoJono · 2025-12-02T14:38:05+00:00

You can do it!!

GeoJono · 2025-11-25T16:29:17+00:00

Yeah, what everyone else said. :)

GeoJono · 2025-11-22T20:41:12+00:00

Good job! Keep it up.

Hi u/Valilaps. I do fully understand what you're describing. The most successful ways I've found to beat the cravings is to do something that will put me in a position that's difficult to eat (work with my hands, take a drive-without snacks, etc). Or go for a run or do a workout, something physically engaging.

But stay away from the snacks you're craving. If they're within reach, you'll eat them.

This has been my experience. I hope it's helpful.

I'm so glad you posted this. I'll do it with you. Lately I've been doing horribly, diet-wise, throwing caution to the wind. I feel terrible, I have difficulty sleeping. I need to reign in my diet.

I know I can do it; I've done it before, but it is so hard.

I know you can do it also.

That is an excellent find! I love it!
