Re:Ask HN: Best ways to minimize internet usage? by anyonecancode on Tuesday May 03, 2022 @09:10PM (#31255655)
I do a couple of things: - One day a week we have a screen free day. I cheat a little as I'll do some checking of my phone, but I'm off my computer and I really am not on the phone that much, just checking weather and maybe one or two small things. But I'm not reading news sites or social media.

- I have an internet cut off rule at 10pm on my router, just for my laptop. Again, I _can_ cheat a bit by using my phone, but I don't really.

The screen free days are actually nice -- I catch up on magazine subscriptions or read actual books, sometimes get a physical newspaper.
