Ask HN: Tools to block web and phone work disruptions?
- themodelplumber 4y agoWeb: hosts file Phone: Faraday pouch (Personally I don't work this way anymore but that's where I'd start if focused on those aspects)
- oblak 4y agophone: leave your device in another room web: not opening non-work related sites The solutions to these self inflicted problems do not require more "tech". Quite the opposite, really
- verdverm 4y agoFor my phone, all I have to do is put it face down, Android do not disturb mode. The real answer to your problem is awareness and discipline. Sounds like your at least halfway there!
- tanseydavid 4y agoDid not know about face-down for DND -- thank you for that. However I activated DND on my Android several months ago and I am never going back.
- airocker 4y agojust found dnd on iPhone too. Feeling so much better.
- gsatic 4y agoI put it in a bank safety deposit box and hand over the key to my mom who heads out of town every week for work. When she gets back on the weekends I get it out and check messages. Quite a few iterations happened to get to this point. Initially I used to just give it to her, but she would read all my notifications. Couldn't help it I guess. Next we used to leave it in her cupboard but that just made me learn how to break locks. So here we are.
- airocker 4y agoI feel you here.
