"Out of sight, out of mind." It's the organizing principle of my life, as somebody with ADHD and a slightly addictive personality.
1. Install App (such as Reddit) before use, delete after.
2. Scorched Earth Campaign on my Notifications settings on my smartphone
3. Stick to Hacker News, as most of it is boring irrevelant drivel these days.
4. Trained myself to recognize when I was instinctively cracking open a news website, or Social Media.
I've realized that my daily tendencies are really just repeats of some tendency from days ago, in my mind's helpless attempt to stay preoccupied. If those daily tendencies include a habit loop like "hey, this sucks, maybe crack open your phone to get out of the way of the misery", then as long as my phone is telling me to fuck right off, it operates as a reminder that I'm not interested in it.
