Nowadays, the only thing that works for me is to print what I want to read, turn off phone and computer, restrict internet access by turning off router, putting the router in hardest to reach places and lay down to read.

I think it's better if we just admit that these systems are built to be addictive instead of pretending we can just "zen" ourselves away from it.
Realistically, like a lot of addictive things, it would be better off if I nevers started.
All of regulations and moderation go to shit the moment one (as an adult) realizes that there is no "real consequence" for unlimited use. The "real consequence" is only what one puts one's mind to be.
(Losing job because of internet addiction? Nvm, find a different one. Getting overweight? It's a silent killer and the effects are years away, plus you get to shop for new clothes. )
See but I don't think you'd be able to do that if you hadn't the experience of living without. Like you literally wouldn't even consider it an option.
Also you may be somewhere on the ADD spectrum. Worth looking into if this becomes a problem for you.
