Hacker News new | ask | show | jobs

I've had a similar approach for the past few months, but with some changes: - I have my wife manage restrictions; only she knows the passcode - I have Safari set to only a whitelist. This means when friends send me a link, I've got to get to a computer to open it. - I have no access to "unlimited" content: no app store, no news aggregators, no google - My home screen has primarily utility and "creation" apps (Drafts, Day One, Trello, etc) - I've turned off almost all notifications. Mail has no sounds, alerts, or badges. I do have badges and alerts on text messaging and slack, but am probably going to turn off slack notification completely. - I've yet to remove all games. I should. I've yet to remove Hacker News and Tech Crunch, but don't currently feel an incessant need to check those.
