If you want to change/reduce a bad habit, make it a bit harder. For example, if you want to reduce the amount of time you spend watching TV, remove the TV from the room, or at least remove the batteries from the controller.

I’ve been doing this to reduce the meaningless browsing while working. I use the leechblock NG Chrome extension and block websites like 9gag and Facebook for 20 seconds. This is enough to remove the automatic opening of these websites when blocked while working.

I uninstalled Instagram from my phone as well.

This advice came from the book Atomic Habits, which I’ve listened to on Audible.

I feel it works well for me.
