Same. I keep my phone face down and on do not disturb, on my nightstand, and only pick it up once I'm ready to start the work day. I find even seeing the app icons for notifications on my lock screen can lead me down a nonstop work path where you end up in you PJ's at 11h30 with zero caffeine in you and a feeling of a day already passed. |

I totally know the feeling! I think it's really biological, low-level:
- dopamine! It's like a shot, the brain gets triggered.
- familiarity: "feels like home", habits take us to our comfort zone.

Haha, yeah... I've been there so often in my teens / twenties.
I think it was self-love + discipline that let me exit that loop. Treating myself like a (inner) child and their parent all-in-one person: forces one to think about well-being first, it gives a feeling it's the "right thing to do" to let yourself chill and avoid that kind of time vortex.
