Me too. The news addiction and doom scrolling sometimes consumed entire fucking weeks. I completely fixed it with LeechBlock on my PCs and AdGuard on my phone. Both pull blacklists from a big list of forbidden websites that I maintain on PasteBin. Here's my version for Adguard: https://pastebin.com/raw/HRhewh9x I let myself use LeechBlock's override for five minutes at a time, but if I find myself using it too much I start to feel dirty and I'll lock down the block set for a few days. Sort of a detox that I can invoke instantly and impulsively, and that might be the most important thing that keeps me on track. I never turn off AdGuard on my phone because it also provides the ad blocking, without which I find the Internet completely unusable. |
