I think routers should have more fine grained settings, so I can block social media during weekdays, HN on weekdays except lunchtime and evening, and allow my children only to access their 5 websites that they need for homework/study during a few hours in the afternoon. This would help me a lot.
- clydethefrog 4y agoMy German router (FritzBox) has some of these options. Blacklist, whitelist, limited time and scheduling.
- terminalcommand 4y agoA more extreme measure some users here used to take was not access the internet at all during their downtime. When you come home from work simply not use the internet. I guess exceptions can be made for streaming movies/music. Ideally you should download and stock up on these. I remember some users deliberately not connecting internet to their homes to stick with this. There were also some users who switched to "dumb" phones to reduce distractions. I guess these could work.

I don't imagine cigarette manufacturers are keen on making it easier for people to quit smoking either.
