Though I deleted all social media apps, blocked YT shorts and dont use stuff like TikTok, I still fall into attention traps from time to time and suddenly realize that I have spend 2 hours scrolling through a subredit (for example) full of post totally irrelevant to my life and will now be very late on my schedule.

Do you have any strategies to avoid such situations?

    I’d need someone to set up parental control time limits on my phone so I can’t just change the ones I make for myself.

    Or I get myself to put on an informative video and that usually gets me to walk around till I’m doing tasks. After that I can switch to a podcast and keep going.
