I've been actively denying myself access to my phone when I wake up. I had gotten into the undesirable habit of reading reddit for like thirty minutes every morning.
Yea, that means I sometimes doze a bit sitting on the john. It does mean I'm at the point where I'm ready to do something productive in ten minutes after getting out of bed, though.
- welly 8y agoWhat's undesirable about informing yourself with the latest news or whatever you're interested in?
- zanny 8y agoBecause like writing this exact comment its not really doing anything. I'm not accomplishing goals reading your reply, I'm not really forming a connection with you or anyone else on these type of sites. Once you use them for a few years you start just seeing the trend of the front page coming before you even get to it, and it just turns into a positive feedback loop for the belief system you adopted from the subreddits / HN you visit. I should be working on a CSS grid layout I've been fighting with all week but instead I'm checking comments on HN. Fortunately I've gone from doing it four times a day to about two - in both cases, while im eating - but nobody needs to be "informed" every single day. You'll pick up the stuff that really matters even if you wade out of the stream for a while.
