I've rendered my iPhone pretty inert at this point, in an effort to increase my own online-data privacy and reduce distractions created by the compulsion-driving behaviour programmed into the apps made available to us. No notifications from anything but iMessage, phone calls and WhatsApp. Do Not Disturb on continually to filter anyone that is not in my contact list. Fb/Twitter/Reddit/etc. apps removed. Time in calendar set once per week to check updates on FB, Instagram & Twitter, timeboxed to an hour. This has made daily life a lot more pleasant, I feel. However, behaviour on my desktop/laptop remains pretty unproductive once the workday is done. Still burning time every day glued to Reddit, particularly browsing the comments. What is it with comment sections that have that particular draw? I don't even post on Reddit, but when it comes to the comments on the content there's a somewhat inert desire to not look away, and I know I'm not alone in that.
