问HN：减少过度数字媒体消费的最有效方法是什么？
我一直在努力改善我生活中一些不太有益的方面。在身体健康方面，我取得了很大的进展，但在数字生活方面却面临更多挑战。
我花费了太多时间浏览Reddit、YouTube/Twitch和Facebook。值得庆幸的是，我从未沉迷于Instagram或TikTok。我想大幅减少与这些网站互动的时间，但它们在我的心理中根深蒂固，感觉几乎不可能做到。
我尝试了一些简单的建议，比如配置Tampermonkey扩展来限制访问，或者安装Cold Turkey（https://getcoldturkey.com/）。问题在于，我知道如何绕过这些限制（你可以通过修改电脑的时间来减轻Cold Turkey的效果……），因此最终，渴望变得足够强烈，以至于我还是会这样做，尽管这并不符合我的最佳利益。
另一个问题是，有时这些网站上有有价值的信息。例如，一些子版块提供与编程、健身等相关的有用信息，我会通过谷歌搜索遇到这些内容。如果在进行合法研究时被阻止访问这些信息，我会感到沮丧，并希望能有例外。我不确定这种立场是否合理。
在现实生活中，我通过限制物理接触成功克服了许多习惯。我不在家里存放零食，如果必须的话，我会把它们放在一个定时锁定的容器里（https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E9J3MLM），这样在渴望的时候就无法打开。这帮助我控制了一些想随时吃的美味沙拉配料。
但在处理数字上瘾时，问题就更复杂了。我在想我有哪些选择？我假设与硬件层面的家长控制相关的东西，以及一个定时释放的密码？如果我可以随意修改电脑的时钟时间，那么基于时间的解决方案是否可行呢？但也许如果它连接到第三方服务器获取时间信息，而我不去中间人攻击这个响应呢？我更倾向于自己能实施的解决方案，而不是依赖于不断将密码交给朋友，但如果这是一个硬性要求，我也能理解。
有没有人对此有成功的经验？谢谢！

I've been working on improving aspects of my life that I don't feel serve me super well. I've made really strong progress in physical areas, but digital has been much more challenging.<p>I spend way too much time browsing Reddit, YouTube/Twitch, and Facebook. Thankfully, I never got into Insta or TikTok. I want to drastically reduce the amount of time I spend interacting with these sites, but they feel so deeply engrained into my psyche that it feels nearly impossible.<p>I've tried some of the simpler suggestions like configuring a Tampermonkey extension to limit access, or installing Cold Turkey (https://getcoldturkey.com/). The problem is that I know how to work around these things (you can just edit your clock time to mitigate Cold Turkey ...) and so, eventually, the cravings become enough that I do so even though it's not in my best interest.<p>Another issue is that sometimes sites have valuable information. For example, some subreddits have useful information related to programming, fitness, etc. and I'll encounter them through a Google search. If I'm prevented from accessing this information when doing legitimate research then I find that frustrating and wish there was an exception to the rule. I'm not sure how grounded that stance is, though.<p>In the physical world, I've had great success defeating habits by limiting physical access. I don't keep snacks at home and, if I must, I'll put them in a timed, locking container (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E9J3MLM) such that I'm unable to open it when having a craving. This helped me with things like delicious toppings for salads which I wanted to keep on-hand, but not be tempted by 24/7.<p>The problem is more challenging when working with digital addictions. I'm wondering what my options are here? I assume something related to parental controls at/near the hardware level and a time-release password? Not sure if anything time-based is viable if I can just mess with my computer's clock time, but maybe if it dials out to a third-party server for timing info and I don't go so far as to MITM the response? I'd prefer solutions that I'm able to implement myself rather than relying on repeatedly handing passwords off to friends, but am understanding if that's a hard requirement.<p>Anyone had any success here? Thanks!
