I just catched myself looking at reddit again.

To remind myself not to use reddit in the next few days (or never again if I succeed) I added it to my uBlock filter list. Additionally I deleted all reddit apps from my phone.

What’s your strategy on how to avoid reddit?

    I installed a “focus” app on my phone. I set it to prevent launches of Boost (my third party app of choice) and the Reddit app (which I installed a while back and never bothered getting rid of) for the next two days.

    When I try to launch either app, the focus app will tell me that I can’t. I tested it this morning just to make sure it was working. Now, even if I try to visit Reddit out of force of habit, I’ll have blocked myself from going there.
