I use ideas taken from behavioral psychology book, Nudge, but in reverse.
For instance, I use an extension that adds a 2 second delay to every Facebook page load. The added friction is small but it very quickly gets me frustrated and I just stop.
- aronowb14 5y agoThis is quite interesting, what’s the extension called?

I don't think 15 seconds is necessary, I like 1-2 seconds (the extension is on a different computer than I'm on -- this one just as a News Feed Eradicator to stop FB).
- mthoms 5y agoFor Reddit and HN, I simply added some browser CSS that removed the "next page" links (on Reddit you'll need to use the old version for this to work). Since I can browse the first page, that allows me to "cut back" on those distractions without going cold turkey.
