Environmental design that actually worked for me

I tried willpower for six months. It does not work against algorithmic content designed by teams of engineers to defeat willpower.

What worked:

- Phone charges in a different room from where I sleep. Non-negotiable.

- DNS-level blocking of short-form video domains. I use a Pi-hole.

- Physical alarm clock. The phone is no longer the first thing I touch.

- Laptop stays in one room. That room is for work and practice. Not for consumption.

- Kindle for reading. Not the Kindle app on my phone — the device.

Standing Δ: +35 → +55 over four months. The largest single contributor was sleep improvement from not scrolling before bed.

Design your environment. Do not negotiate with your impulses.
