There are inputs and outputs to life. Many, many, many things try to consume our ability to consume inputs. By consuming these inputs there is less time to create an output. These outputs are super important and can be anything: sports, 3d printing, art, woodworking, musical instrument, gardening, other hobbies or projects, etc.
The phone is an easy input to pickup. Make it easy to pickup something else to occupy that time to create something tangible (an output). Other comments mention "real world" and it is so true. Do something that rewards yourself in the real world. It'll be great for your kid too.
+1, Sweeney took the low road by violating his contract with Apple, removing Apple IAP from the existing Fortnight on people's iOS devices, and generally making a point by doing it the wrong way. Two wrongs do not make a right.
+1 to KEXP and KCRW (and KCRW's Eclectic 24). KEXP plays a ton of great music of different varieties of music, some of which, I wouldn't normally listen to.
I do something very similar. I save files into a watched folder with Hazel (Google Drive, Dropbox and my Downloads folder). Hazel has a rule to rename the file with the YYYYMMDD_Filename.ext, and then depending on the extension filters it to a different folder, or with a PDF runs an OCR on it and stores it in Devonthink Pro.
It feels like the FBI has been caught with their hand in the cookie jar. They have at least one judge saying they have overreached, a House of Representatives hearing where the head of the FBI got dressed down, and a hearing on the 22nd with a ton of support for Apple from tech companies and other researchers. It feels like a desperate attempt to salvage a losing battle.
