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.

yeah i feel you - i'm in the same boat with fc being the biggest cause of procrastination! buoy kinda helped but i still struggle and scroll and get distracted. i think the mix of being a 'social network' vs 'social media' might contribute to it. there are people i care about seeing updates from (and have met irl) that I only interact with on farcaster. i don't feel the same about ig/twitter - most irl friends will text me. it's nice coming back to australia and having the afternoons off to focus, but the past couple months in nyc were nice - was able to meet up with fc people irl or text and still feel connected / up to date with fc without needing as much time on fc. maybe latenightcrew will help 😅

killed my internet plan, hid the home feed with a plugin, and regrettable minutes crashed to ~0

killing internet is next level. I’m gonna try some plugins. My lean is desktop use is mostly fine, it’s focused use and my profession after all, the phone is the problem because is use it in between things that often spill over into actual things. Result is less present—and for what?
