It's too effective.

I end up sitting at my computer to watch a movie, and end up finishing work in the evening. I'm nerd sniping myself, and it's not healthy. Then in the morning the madness continues.

I want to make room for other things in my life. I have to Cm+Q everything in the evening.



I think "failing test in a feature branch with a draft PR and a powered off machine" counts as "left broken". I won't even boot into the work OS if I'm not working.


The most important part of my evening routine is renewing the 24 hour block in SelfControl.app before it expires.


There are quite a few solutions for this. You can do your work stuff in a VM that you just turn off and it's gone for the rest of the day. You can get a second computer for non-work programming. Or if you don't need that much compute in your free time, get an iPad. It's great for your evening articles, YouTube and Netflix.
