old news I guess but I recently realized I could block elements with ublock origin so I blocked the "hot meta questions" and "hot questions from other stack exchange sites" elements from stack overflow because I'd see some slightly interesting topic and get sucked in.
not sure what other similar helpful things I can do. I unfollow agressively on Facebook. use Fbpurity to filter as much as possible. don't use Twitter.
I still get distracted all day long. should probably ban HN from my life for the 4th time . it's not easy. I changed my hosts file once but VMs don't use the same file. tried using parental controls on iOS but they ban way too much. used noprocrast but can open incognito window although it helps not being able to comment. Wishing there was a fake VPN app for iOS I could use to block sites
