I'm currently working on ways to disconnect better at the end of the day. So far, I've figured out how to create an "inverse Screen Time" on iOS so it locks me out of most of my phone except for a 3 hour window in the evening that ends one hour before bedtime. I've also began using timers to keep track of how much time each of my daily tasks are eating up.
Also the usual stuff. Hitting the gym (30 min a day, 5x a week), clearing out junk I don't need anymore, multivitamin, etc. 2020 is going to be the year of wellness for me.
EDIT: Forgot to mention this, DELETE YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA APPS. All of them. Use the mobile websites if you need to read them. Not having the icons on my home screen or app drawer made all the difference and really helped fix my cyberaddiction.
- ricattierger 7y agoSame. Focusing on wellness this year and it is great. Have read so much more after forcing less screen time
- dabockster 7y agoMy challenge to you is to try to disconnect from HN as much as possible. I logged off for six months last January to detox from the neurotic comments that this place gets and it totally reset my mind. I plan on logging off for another long period of time after I check tomorrow on some Ask HNs I posted. Come outside, it's wonderful.
- fraktl 7y agoWhy do you need to be forcefully locked out? From what you wrote, you seem capable enough to... put the device down and avoid touching it.
