Star Trek Elite Force. Weird combo for Star Trek to make a game in the Quake engine, but I love it

Promo Art for the game Star Trek Voyager: Elite force, featuring the main cast of the game in a line. You can also see Voyager flying at the bottom, and the game title at the top

This is something I've been experimenting with myself, frankly I feel since moving away from mainstream social media I feel no where near as obligated to my phone, but there's still definitely some aaaaa I have shackled to it. Here are some of my things that I feel have helped?

For desktop browsers (I use firefox):

For mobile stuff (I use android, will somewhat only apply for that):

  • All the previously mentioned extensions are available on Firefox for Android
  • If you can, perhaps transition to a smaller phone. The smaller the screen, the less incentive there is to use it. I picked up a Pixel 2 for dirt cheap recently, popped LineageOS on it and it feels a lot less... loud?
  • Disable as many notifications as possible, except crucial ones. The less incentive/need to look at your phone and get distracted, the better
  • Something like a minimal launcher may help? https://f-droid.org/en/packages/eu.ottop.yamlauncher/
  • Find devices other than your phone to use for things. Get a cheapo watch with a timer, a cheapo MP3 player, a gameboy if you have it lying around or something, physical books from your local library? Again, the less you have to actually open your phone, the better.
