Don't you fall back into increased laptop use when stopping your phone usage? Any advice you have on that front?

Yes, dicipline is needed there as well. I do a lot if genetic reseach and I look at my laptop as a tool, a potentially dangerous tool, like a woodworker using a lathe, i stay alert and focused on the task at hand.

My laptop is essentially a desktop as well. I only use it on a desk in one room.

I never turn to these devices out of boredum. That is the best rule.

Plus, steven black on github has a great host file blocking all kibds of websites.

I haven't. I use my laptop to code; if I'm not doing that, I'm usually outside or doing something around the house.
