Ask HN: Digital Declutter – How?

It’s this time of the year when it’s easy to set some too optimistic goals for the next year.

Seriously limiting my time spent online has been pretty high on my list for some years already, except for some rather short stretches of time, it’s been a failure. Inevitably I go back to checking news, HN, social medias etc. way too much.
Only things that work for me are the ones that increase the friction of getting around them to get online.

This year I’m considering getting a dumb phone, blocking most of the websites on the router’s firewall and changing router’s password.

Any tips and stories to share on what worked for you ?
