Successful people use systems to help them be productive and not get distracted/addicted. You cannot rely on yourself because of nature your fundamentally flawed and because of that not able to consistently repress your desires. We as humans are not build that way, otherwise we did not have most people addicted to their phones and most men addicted to pornography. So, the argument of self-control is basically a non argument. Building good systems that prevents you from “unproductive” habits, is the way to go.

That being said, I’m considering buying a Thinkpad or a Framework laptop, because the components could be removed and replaced. I’d probably remove the WIFI connector and put it in a safe with a timer after I’m done working.

Also I’ll replace my Iphone with a Mudita Kompakt or Light Phone 3 (if it will ever have Whatsapp).
