Environment changes are powerful. Same goes for apps like Twitter. I used to have it both on my phone and tablet, and that lead to me checking it hundreds of times a day. Now I only access it in the browser, and in restricted time windows. Much better.

Another "environment setup" example would be buying an analog alarm clock instead of using your phone (and doom scrolling for 30 minutes every morning.

Simple changes, profound effects.

How do you restrict the time windows in which you access twitter? Through technological solutions, or just through self-control?
By using the deprocrastination extension on our site. The Focus Zones feature is essential for me.
