The Daily Delivery
Extension Actions
Gmail, Hackernews, and the NY Times, updated once a day.
*** BETA *** <=== This is an initial release!
We've all heard the internet is changing our brains and our ability to focus. But controlling that is hard.
📰 THE DAILY DELIVERY
The Daily Delivery uses page redirects to version of Gmail, Hacker News, and the NY Times that only update once a day.
🛑✋ LIMIT THE PUSH, NOT THE PULL
It's not about placing limits on what you can check, or when, or how often. I've tried those. I always uninstalled them out of frustration and slid back into my old habits.
Because the underlying problem is still there.
The internet is a never ending stream of novelty. It's the literal definition of a variable reward. Psychologist B.F. Skinner discovered it would drive lab rats wild in his Operant Conditioning Chambers.
🧠 YOUR BRAIN WILL RELEARN.
The Daily Delivery puts the brakes on the variable reward. By updating once a day, your brain quickly learns not to check so compulsively.
