You want to do get more stuff done? Here's a magic trick for you

You want to do get more stuff done? Here's a magic trick for you.

Suppose you've removed your social media apps, because you learned it is mainly "validation porn for women", good. You installed some useful stuff, like you keep track of your 5x5s, cardio, diet, you keep track of your plates' periods, good. You replied to some posts dissing video games, weed and alcohol, because you're a video game alpha and you can do all three in moderation. And you can laugh at guys who can't. Splendid.

Now it's time for real challenge. But, this challenge seems easy, piece of cake. Maybe it's a shortcut. A cheat.

Find "Screen accessibility" options on your phone (iPhone: Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> Display Accommodations -> Color filters -> On, Grayscale). Enable it. Use it for a few days.

I'm not telling you to do this religiously. If you want to buy a colorful t-shirt, turn colour on. If you're reviewing your photos, turn colour on, too. But most of the times, when messaging or browsing the web, keep it greyscale, give it a few days and see how it went.

I'm doing it for about a few weeks and the results are kind of surprising. I see myself being more productive and the cell phone stopped being attractive any more.

Colours play very important role for our lizard-brain. In everyday's world, the colour LCD has become a standard. It flashes unrealistically saturated colours and thus it is somehow analogous to porn.

Your cell phone is a piece of electronics. You can't eat it and it seems like it won't ever taste like strawberries, even if its red. So make it more real to your lizard brain, thus make it less attractive by turning it greyscale.

For Android:

Enable developer option if not already done. For that go to Settings > About Phone > press build number several times

Go to Settings > Developer options > under hardware accelerated rendering, Simulate color space > change to Monocromacy

All set now, of course you can change it back when needed

You can also make your PC greyscale by pressing Ctrl + Windows + C

But how will I know whether to buy or sell?

never listen to biz

I already do this but I don’t leave it on for extended periods, I’ll try it.

I'll give it a try , will report back in 2 days

you have to be computer literate if you want to make it in the cyberpunk future, user. Begin learning programming, I recommend Python.

finally fucking quality posts return to biz.

where?

Thanks dude, i'll try this

on the internert

Awesome. I will seriously take your advice here OP. I'm genuinely addicted to my computer or something though...I feel like doing that would seriously hurt me. Which is why I probably should but still.

I have a question for you. I can program a little but I'm not sure what exactly the next step is, if that makes sense. I took some intro programming courses back in college, covering Java and Python. Now what? Go memorize a bunch of algorithms or what?

go on...

What are you on user?

>It flashes unrealistically saturated colours and thus it is somehow analogous to porn

Source?

Build something that's been built a million times before just to prove you can build it once.

this could be cool. will see how monochromancy goes this week. might not even last but I like where you comin from

How new are you, go back to fucking reddit. It's not hard to find the /g/ or Veeky Forums guides and learn literally everything from them.
So essentially the next step is to find a project that interests me for programming and then find and master the steps necessary to build it.

Automate boring things with Python

and that's it, after reading that, read the PEP8 adn create something.

Is actually good idea, trying it out now

This is the right approach.

But personally I like being able to turn this functionality on and off quickly as needed so I've mapped grayscale to triple clicking the iPhone home button.

Thank you op, I wish unironically that God blesses you. I have something very important to do this month and your tip surely will help. Wish me luck
