I recently bought a few cheap electronic padlocks with timers on them (the UI is terrible so I have one for short lengths, one for longer lengths, and a backup cos why not). Been using them to lock away internet access for extended lengths and it's a crazy relief to just know that I CAN'T access anything for X length of time. I've had days where I've done absolutely nothing and felt totally okay about it as a result.
Kind of think any remotely obsessive person is going to have to regulate themselves like this to avoid going crazy.
The potential shame of breaking the lock is enough to ensure I won't even consider it, for people who have even less self control I feel like there's probably room for some kind of social shaming application which notifies a select set of people when you break rules you impose on yourself.

- JansjoFromIkea 7y agoThat's why I got the lock though, just lock the phone away! Also have a feature phone to cover myself if needed.
