How I regained concentration and focus
"Trivial inconveniences" are a big hurdle when trying to build a habit, but are a great tool for breaking bad ones. Anything you can do to break the dopamine loop helps, however small it may be. I've had success with:- setting long passwords to social media that aren't autofilled (saved in bitwarden) and logging out after each session- nerfing addicting parts of webapps (plugins which block the facebook news feed but allow messaging/groups helped a TON)- forbidding dedicated social media apps and only using "worse" internet sites- router DNS blockers, even if I can get around them, the act of having to bypass it raises my awareness I'm doing something subpar for myself
