I started a habit a few months ago that's been very helpful: each morning I have to log >= 1h on my primary creative project before I'm allowed any "scattering internet," which I define as email, Slack, news, social media, etc—anything that heyfocus.com would reject.

Great analysis on your own failings 😄 & good work job hacking yourself. I was thankfully successful with daily goals. Tiny but still daily streaks kept me on the line. I know you probably know but helped a LOT in habit forming. Did you try that? It has many option

I’m glad to hear streaks worked for you! For me, daily streaks are too brittle; ratcheting up a target frequency in a rolling window has been more reliably successful. A big discontinuity between 100% and 95% daily adherence doesn’t match how I think about these goals.
