Would you rather read scifi for an hour or scroll twitter?
Me: Read scifi, obviously.
Okay. You say that. But, I've noticed you're composing this interaction in tweet form as we speak.
Me: Shh, I'm busy.
Hyperbolic discounting dooms us both.

I just sat down to read a book for 45 minutes before making dinner & am now scrolling Twitter instead, even though I literally told myself I would not get on Twitter as I walked to the couch.pic.twitter.com/yQF8Q8RdO2

It's so hard! You know you're doing the wrong thing but you forget almost immediately because our brains increasingly operate at a proliferation of incompatible timescales!

I really should choose a "default storage spot" for my phone that's completely on the other side of the house, so that I have to *really* want to make the trip over to it in order to get distracted.

That's how I cut my daily *phone* screentime down to 45 minutes. But... ...still working on this screen.
