Interrupt your habits.

• Uninstall the app, if you use that.
• Log out in your browser.
• If you use ublockorigin, add reddit.com to the custom block list
• Use a password manager, change your password to something you can’t remember. Then in your password manager, put a prefix on it like (take-a-break), so you have to go through the hassle of editing it to log in.

You don’t need to be up to the minute or even the day for most of your interests, you can catch up when you have time to do so intentionally.

Interruptions cause you to slow down and give your will power a moment to catch up and intervene.

Isn’t building a CRM a sort of rite of passage for tech entrepreneur failures?

That reminds me, I once heard an irritated dad at a kids playground yell “cheese and rice”!

I love it. I’ve been enjoying “MotherFather” as a soft landing out of habitually cursing when frustrated.

Grayjay can stream nebula, so there must be a way.

I always hated his pupils.

Never thought about that before, but now I’m curious: what exactly makes a gang not a cult?

Do you ever use librivox? There are a few specific readers I found there that are great for me to fall asleep to.

Utilizing the library is a good idea, I should really do they more. I know in the US they need our support too.
