The problem is that I can not pace myself.
I can go cold turkey without any withdrawals. Not using no phone or computer on holidays? Not a problem. It would not be a great sacrifice for me to never touch a computing device ever again in my life.
But that using the internet only at certain times thing? Absolutely not. There will always be an exception because I need to look up something really badly and once the exception is done it is over. Restricting certain sites? But then there is that search result or that person linked me something I need to see. Away with the filter!
It sucks because as a software engineer I need to keep up with things so there isn't really a way to quit.
- andai 2y agoI just had a text file "stuff to Google" and I Googled it later. There was always more work to do so I could either work around it or just do something else for a few hours and come back to it when I went back online. Though most of the stuff was just documentation, so I just downloaded offline docs and reduced the need to Google stuff by an order of magnitude. Of course, it's going to depend on what you're doing (I assume it works better for solo work) and what kind of resources are available.
