Spent $200 on a speed reading course and realized I just needed to stop scrolling on my phone for 10 minutes before dates

Bought this fancy online program promising I could read a whole book in an hour but after three sessions I noticed my focus was shot from checking Instagram every two seconds, and the real issue was just putting my phone in another room so has anyone else wasted cash on a fix that was basically just a habit shift?

$130 on a "brain training" app that was basically just timed puzzles. Same thing. Phone notifications were the real enemy. I finally left my phone in the kitchen during work hours. Feels like a cheat code but it's just basic self control.

@alicesingh same move here, nightstand drawer works like a charm.
