Tokimeki Unfollow

Https://tokimeki-unfollow.glitch.me/ Presents the Twitter accounts you're following so you can decide whether they "spark joy"... Pairs well with https://opml.glitch.me/ Which looks at the accounts you're following, looks at the links in their bios, sees if there's an RSS feed indicated at that link, and puts the whole thing together into an OPML feed (the standard XML-of-RSS-feeds format used for RSS reader import/export, among other things).

Tweak New Twitter

Https://github.com/insin/tweak-new-twitter/ If you need it for mobile, on my mobile (Android) I downloaded Kiwi Browser so I can install that plugin.

Cold Turkey

About a year ago another HN commenter helped me out with this. I've had problems of this sort too. Still do-- this isn't a perfect solution-- but it helped. The other commenter recommended an application called Cold Turkey [1]. It lets you lock yourself out of specified websites and applications for a scheduled period of time. You can also unlock it outside the schedule if you set it up to force input of a set length of random text. So you can set it for 100 characters, or whatever you want, and it will display 100 character that you have to repeat to unlock things, basically to help stop an impulsive return to browsing. It helps me a fair bit to stay on task at work. I whitelist only the sites I need for work and take away the ability to randomly alt-tab into a browser "just for a minute". If your looking for a way to discipline your computer habits, I highly recommend this program. [0] https://getcoldturkey.com/.

Waking Up

I feel you! What helped me was Mindfulness meditation, this in particular: https://wakingup.com/. You can get at least one year free there.
