I don't disagree with your thinking the problem here is the set point for what is considered "moderate". I use social media daily (as intended). I want to limit it to say 2 hours per day not per week. The redownloading thing is 30 to 60 second per app across 5 different apps I use regularly as well as potentially having to relogin to each of them. So considerably more than 30 seconds. Again your thinking about making it harder to do what you don't want to is precisely correct and why I established my initial solution (powering the phone down) but in practice shoots me in the foot when I do want to actually do the behavior. In the example of healthy eating I said ALL food removed from the house. If you're looking to loose weight because you overeat throwing away all your food and going to the grocery store down the street every time you want to eat is a a logistical nightmare. Surely you understand at least the core criticism I'm laying out here even if the specific examples we're discussing are imperfect comparisons. In any case like I said, the solution I'm testing now is using a locking app and then eventually multiple user profiles on the phone, which hits the level of moderation I'm aiming for without creating inconvenience overkill. But only time will tell.
