it’s obvious that using my phone is directly correlated to regretted life minutes. i really need to think about this more seriously.

I really had an issue with it, for me i had to: - delete ig/twitter/youtube from phone (keep youtube music) - deactivate ig for a bit so people got in the habit of messaging me elsewhere - remove all apps from home screen except essentials - phone display on grayscale - not have phone in my bedroom, go random times without it (apple watch for emergencies) - Chrome extensions (news feed eradicator and unhook) to minimise time spent on ig/twitter/youtube on desktop... still do use them, but a lot less than before. haven't looked at other extensions, kinda curious. still procrastinate in other ways now (and still working on it) but for me i feel news/blogs/random surfing is less addictive than ig / twitter on phone

good list – i've done many of these. The truth is I was having great success until I started building on farcaster. Now support, fun, work, and play is all intermixed. I have a legitimate reason to monitor warpcast, i deal with them but then get sucked into other activities. its not all regretted life minutes, i love the people i've met here and having fun but it definitely impacts my physche, ability to focus and do hard things that require deep work. a lot of those things i admire.

i've had this (as you can imagine) I think "support" makes it feel urgent and then the sucked-in part of it happens, at least that's what it was for me. had to learn that not all of it is actually urgent and can wait till I finish my workout or dinner etc. so now there are specific blocks of time (at the very least) where I don't check my phone at all unless someone calls me

Good to know I’m not the only one who had to set blocks of time like this to get meaningful work done Building on FC is also kind of a trap since you’re always connected, especially when your app is feed driven 🙃

It’s both a blessing and curse that it’s all intermixed.
