Timers a fantastic idea that I also use when I need to get some work done but otherwise deleting the app completely is impossible, how else am I going to watch easy German or MIT lecture videos?

You can get a screen time app that tracks and can limit the amount of time spent on specific apps

The screenshot is from that app honey

So turn on your limiter if you want to spend less time

Ahhh I wanted to make a joke about my calculator usage!!! I use YouTube for lessons!!

[–] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Ah, thats actually a realistic number for me as i use my calculator for work, finances, and some games too.

[–] Dave2@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Uuu which games require a calculator?

[–] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Real time strategy and stuff. If i get a 15% bonus to a resource, sometimes i wanna know how much per turn that bonus is worth. Or in games like rimworld I'll do things like meals X #ofcolonists X number of days storage X 2meals per day. You could also do the same in RPGs while trying to decide what gear/perks gives you the best stats.

If you need a calculator for rimworld you may be far too gone but respect the grind

Its super useful, like how many dusters can I make out of this stack of 680 textiles? Or how many farming tiles minimum should i have per colonist or animal, how much pemmican for a caravan, i can get rough idea in my head but sometimes for bills or if you're short on labor being exact is nice.
