I use Cold Turkey to block my habbit of scrolling time-wasting sites when I should be reflecting harder on what it is needed to solve the issue at hand.

It's almost like I need some mental space, to meditate on the solution, but that feels exhausting, so I choose sometimes to mindlessly scroll.

Any other tools that I may be missing?




An alternative is to add URLs to /etc/hosts like this to block them:

127.0.0.1 tiktok.com

127.0.0.1 www.tiktok.com

Then use ublock origin extension to pare down features on sites you still visit, and an RSS reader app to slow down media consumption.
