I've been taking a similar route for the past decade or so. It's pretty nice. I still fall into the internet hole when I'm slouched on the couch with the tablet, I need to ponder some ways to fix that.
...ooh, Apple's "Screen Time" controls on the iPad will let me limit my time on a website, and supposedly sync to my Mac, too. Sharply limiting Twitter should break the habit of getting lost in replies and scrolling when someone links to a good tweet. Nice. Thanks for giving me a reason to examine my own habits around the Internet, Mr. Bouliane!
- nicbou 4y agoThere’s no complete fix. Sometimes you have to relax. It’s just about doing it on your own terms.
- egypturnash 4y agoOh certainly. But if I have already been quite aware that I keep falling into a particular Internet hole and I am not really enjoying it, plugging up that hole helps me be more aware of how I’m using my time, and go do something that’s more relaxing than “scrolling Twitter hoping for amusement”.
