Cold Turkey didn't work exactly as advertised. It sent the two minute warning after it has already locked. I already spent the money to get pro mode for Frozen Turkey, so I get locked out of the computer at 11.

That cold turkey app wouldn't work on me. As soon as it starts locking stuff I would just go looking for a hack or a work around to get back in.

There's a chink in the armor in that I haven't locked down my phone super hard. The dude also made a phone app, but it doesn't have a scheduler. It still allows access to the notification shade which is a good thing.

I'm also using my phone to do a time study and results are so far disheartening.

What has helped me in the past is to make "sacred areas" in my home where no computational interfaces are allowed. I spent six months sleeping in a "dumb room" every night with my phone out in the hall on a little shelf, and it felt pretty good (and the few ladies I had over did not mind, in fact they appreciated it)

My productivity was zero again today. I now have a 2 hour Awful app allowance in addition to all the other fun stuff on the phone being turned off during school hours, with a break for lunch.

Glad you're getting checked out, and sorry to hear about the shame. Once you get assessed, you can formulate a plan!


Thanks to Manifisto for the sig!

Shame issues are really rough, and self-reinforcing. Letting go is very hard, but it can be done (I've heard). Good luck!

Sometimes you're not lazy, you just have an autistic brain.

Literally got zero vaccines.
Vaccinating yourself to get autism is the new hotness.

I'm watching the Please Stand By with my autism Discord. It is fun.

I read this as you watching "Stand By Me" and was like "oh cool, that's one of the dollar babies along with Shawshank, right?"
