Yeah. The above setup is in addition to Freedom.to, which is my primary “control online habits” tool. Typically at night I want to be able to do particular kinds of screw-around-on-the-internet, and the problem is that I just end up doing it too long, unreflectively.
A key piece of the setup is that I’m allowed to turn the computer back on, as many times as I want, but each time it forces a deliberate choice, and gives me a moment to notice “you know what? I’m tired, and youtube isn’t actually that good.”
