Time is your most scarce resource, and everything is competing for it. In that light, it makes sense to purposefully pare down your environment to better align what you want to spend your time on, and what the objects around you tempt you to actually spend your time on. I replaced having a laptop on my desk at home with a typewriter. Now when I sit at my desk, instead of spending an hour mindlessly browsing reddit like I used to, I write. My friends make fun of me, but I have written 10x more in the past month than any of them have. I have used this approach with great success for other things I wished to prioritize more. For instance, I am purposefully not replacing my broken-screened-taped-up iPhone because I want to constantly be reminded that I probably shouldn’t be looking at it. Remove everything from your environment (TV, video games, social media feeds, junk food, etc), and only add things back in deliberately. In the attention economy, being deliberate with your attention is the best thing you can do for yourself.
