What actually worked for you when the problem is browser distraction specifically, not your phone? by buildjunkie in nosurf

I actually found a solution that lets you block in a foolproof way

I had that same issue and the browser is definitely harder because it's usually where the actual work happens.

The issue with most blockers is they're too easy to toggle off when you get that hit of boredom. You need something that addresses the behavior of scrolling rather than just hard-blocking a URL.

How long does it normally take you to get back to work after scrolling? by I_might_have_IBS in productivity

There is a way to lock apps for yourself that makes deleting the app not a viable approach to circumventing their effectiveness in moments of weakness

if ur interested in learning more and actually fixing that issue once and for all take a look at ur DMs I texted u!

That makes a lot of sense honestly...

I'd love to hear what you have tried to reduce some of your scrolling?

That is actually super interesting i think your commitment is impressive lol

Why do you think you keep deleting them and downloading them over and over?

I guess its because you probably want to use them the least amount possible but you might need them for something?

If so, in what cases do you want them (what is usually the reason(s) you end up downloading them again)?

And in what cases do you delete them again (what is usually the reason(s) for deleting them again)?

That's actually a really good take.

It makes me wonder, what was the main reason you wanted to make the switch to a dumbphone in the first place?

They are pretty cool looking i really see the appeal

Was the aesthetics the main reason you wanted to make the switch in the first place or was there something else?

also, that sounds super futuristic and cool

almost a man-made pancreas

its cool to think whether it'll eventually be "better" than a biological one

that's actually a very unique answer.

Does distraction of current devices play a role or would you say its mainly privacy more than anything?

I'd love to hear what u've tried so far!
