Can a $60 Plastic Cube Solve Our Screen-Time Crisis?

I’ve been locking my phone in a timed lockbox for the past few weeks and it has been transformative. There’s something psychological about knowing my phone isn’t available for the next 1-2 hrs and I don’t need to think about it. I think it’s better than Brick because it can’t be bypassed.

I have been considerably more focused and productive as a result. The problem I had is that my phone controls a lot of other stuff that I might need while it’s locked away (e.g. my smart lights), but I am working on getting single-purpose physical equivalent devices, and maybe a burner phone with no apps or web browser installed for everything else.
