We bought a Brick and honestly it’s been a game changer. I tried to curb the habit using my own will power and am ashamed to admit that the Brick is the only thing I’ve found that truly works for me. I spent 114 consecutive days “bricked” from social media this spring. I had hoped the very long break would curb the habit but once I “unbricked” I was back into old habits quickly. I only use it to block social media but you can set up the controls however you like. I recommend it often to others!
Wow- 114 days is really impressive! I've heard about Brick and similar devices, but haven't been sure of their effectiveness. It seems like whatever the tool, we all need to consume less
