You can try smashing your phone into pieces with a hammer, or you can tape your phone to a wall to add the layer of resistance, and then from there it’s up to your willpower.

Start a challenge . I am in

It is a good recommendation. I use it as well. You can block certain apps for days/weeks so you can make your smartphone safe.

I get it, you don’t want to use smartphone to avoid temptation, and blockers? Well we always find a way to bypass them.
It may not be for everyone, but I suggest using ‘stay free’ app

I haven’t used as a blocker, but just monitor for how much browsing I do, and limit how much I can use.

Getting my mind into limiting web usage (regardless of pmo), is really helped along with the feature below, and good reflection.



Productivity is never an accident.
It is always a commitment to excellence, intelligent planning, and focused effort.

Time is what we want most, but what we use worst.

Your future is created by what you today, not tomorrow.

Light phone is an alternative but I don’t think it’s available in India and its a bit overpriced.

You can use a dumb phone instead with bare minimum functionality… Like we used to have back in the day. Remember Nokia 1100?

Lot of dumb phones available on Amazon for prices as low as ₹1k.

Nothing will work other than willpower, just uninstall all the distracting apps and forget about them forever, best strategy imo.

Willpower is only temporary fix, it can be useful for only short time because it is mentally exhausting. If you depend on just willpower alone it won’t do you any good

  1. Get an android smartphone.
    (make sure you have necessary apps installed like maps, email etc.)
  2. Install a powerful p. blocker like Nopox (block here in-App browsers aswell), type your preferred keywords and sites aswell, set the time to 14 days and also make the app uninstallable.
  3. Install Spin browser and make sure that it blocks all other browsers on your phone, by using the second app that comes with spin installation.
  4. Install Andoff, and set Nopox as a required vpn here. Block the app google and other browsers (other than Spin) here. Just DON’T change anything for the app called webview or it will make your apps crash.
    Make sure that you set Andoff up to prevent factory reset. Set a (difficult and long) password for Andoff and maybe keep it in your car or somewhere where you can find it for the first week(s).
  5. Additionally you can use apps like Lock Me Out and Stayfocusd to either block your spin browser after a certain hour in the evening or also block sites/apps like youtube after a certain hour or whole day(s).
    Note: I don’t want to go into all the technicalities but this should work once you manage to set it up in the correct order like described above. I myself mixed up the order once, so do take your time while installing it.
    I hope this helps. Please share it to others aswell.

In this world :earth_africa: full of tech you can’t suddenly leave smartphone there is only one solution just uninstall all the junk app use phone only for your work otherwise keep it away or also you can try recharging your phone without internet if you don’t have a wifi connection then it will work .

Hilarious advice. Better sell it and get a therapy :rofl::innocent:

Just don’t stay in an environment where your phone turns into a red light area for you. Go spend all your day outside, get a gym subscription, go to library, come back late, give your phone to your family and sleep without it.
