Lately I've set my router to cut off Internet to my devices after a certain time in the evening, and I put away my phone. It's nice. I can still read or watch a movie if I want, but it gives me solitude and more connection to myself. More memories/feelings surface. A little bit meditative, I suppose.

That's a great idea. How do you program the router to turn off at a certain time?

I think I need to cut it off at night, but it's hard to pull the plug - I guess that's the internet addict in me - it would be easier if it was automatically programmed.

Depends on the router, but most of them will have an access restriction or parental control section or you might have to go to tools -> schedule, or just schedule. I might be able to say more if I know the model number. :)

Also I think there's software that'll do it on a PC if the router thing doesn't work (e.g., rescuetime I think?).
