I just do whatever I need to for work, then hop down to the garage and build guns or work on my project car.
Other days I work on the lawn and property.
It seems to work unless I pick up side gigs programming, then I end up spending the whole day behind a laptop anyway, but at least it's all constructive work and not pissing away time on the internet.
I try, but I realised that as soon as I sit on the computer, there's a 70%+ chance that I get sucked in. Then it feeds me just enough dopamine to discourage starting a more rewarding activity. It can take hours to break out of it.
On the other hand, if I don't touch the computer before noon, there's a solid chance I'll end up in the garage building things.
Unfortunately, I'll still need my laptop at some point, either to do research for a project or check things off my todo list. Just like that, I get sucked in.
