Decide up your dopamine supply on the Mailblocks. With this challenge you’ll solely obtain push notifications in your cellphone if you bodily “decide them up.” A Pi acts as a router and blocks push notifications network-wide, solely sending when your cellphone is put contained in the mailbox.

From Man Dupont on Hackaday.io:

I discover myself simply distracted by push notifications, and Do Not

Disturb simply isn’t sticky sufficient for me. After significantly screen-time-heavy night time, I joked to my spouse: “push notifications ought to be like common mail – you need to should go someplace to gather them. As soon as a day, max.”

Appeared like an experiment value operating.
