So I have a buddy who has this problem and he puts a black and white filter on his phone... every app, every web page, everything is in black and white. He claims it helps reduce the appeal... I think he may have something as when I looked his phone, the usual apps didn’t have the same appeal.
Start with reducing the appeal... then start to occupy your time with other things

Tim Ferris (4 hour workweek) also recommends this. If you try it you will be disgusted looking at your phone

A few friends have instituted a 'No phone in the bedroom' rule (with the exception of using functions like your alarm) that has significantly helped them with their relationships to tech and as a bonus is great for sleeping!

I'll be moving to Dallas for work this summer. I've been looking into housing options within walking distance from my job in downtown (wanna minimize driving as much as possible). Most of the places I've seen within my budget seem to have really mixed reviews. I don't need anything big or fancy--just needs to be safe and clean. Any insight on these places (or any other recs) would be great:
