Nice idea. But it needs to be harder for me to reverse. I think I would very quickly develop the reflex of disabling WiFi on my phone so it loads the site via mobile data.

The trouble I have with all tech-based attempts I've set up to stop myself getting distracted is that it is me versus a much-more-motivated me.

We have the same technical skills but one of us is not going to stop until he wins.

Like any addiction, the addict needs to first _want_ to stop

Having the addiction mere seconds away ensures that any addict will not stop, no matter how much they want it. There needs to be enough separation between you and the thing that your rational brain kicks in.

Yeah, thats just how it was when I completely blocked those services on my network.

My hope is that this gentle nuding towards "come on, you've had 15 minutes, now just wait another 45, please?" is enough of a hurdle. I think it's a moderation tool.

You can run a VPN no matter the data connection. And delete the apps and have to reinstall them, or login via web.
