I'm very conscious of screen time; I believe that you need to fight software with software. My latest gadget purchase is Brick: a small physical cube that deactivates my phone. I plan to use Brick over the next week and report on the results. My goal is to have fewer unregretted minutes during the day.

is the idea that it's harder to unblock stuff because you'd activate the block, then put the brick in a drawer or something? Does this sync to your laptop in anyway?

This is cool. I looked into buying a literal time-locked cage for my phone for deep work slots.

For me out of sight out of mind does the trick. My phone is not in the same room as I, and when going for walks or cafes by myself it isn't on me either. Maybe can also putting the brick somewhere not so easily accesible ^^ Leverage laziness to reduce screentime

I tried greyscale hoping it would reduce overall time, but I found it just lessened the enjoyment (& dopamine) Haven’t found success myself, excited to see if the physical barrier is enough of a deterrent.

Interesting physical barrier. Delete the app and your $50 brick no longer works is /skininthegame

For those having Android, a minimalist phone is a huge win for me. I'm more mindful of what I'm opening and why.

You're wise too. Be interested to hear your results. We interviewed technology psychologist Larry Rosen about the impact of technology on our brains just last week - https://pods.media/thinking-on-paper/how-technology-rewires-your-brain

The idea is to hide this brick somewhere that is hard to access?
