Here's how to make reddit a lot less appealing and kick the procrastination habit:

  1. Unsubscribe from ALL subreddits (top right, click on "edit subscription" then you'll see a list of your subs on the right. You can save the multi as a favorite if you are scared of losing precious finds, then unsubscribe from everythin).

  2. Register to a bunch of totally dead subreddits: like these ones so that you front page will be empty and the top banner boring.

  3. Go to preferences (top right)

    • Pick an annoying language (one you don't speak well ideally) so your experience will be more difficult. I picked german, but spanish works as well.
    • select "Don't show thumbnails next to links", "Don't auto-expand media previews on comments pages"
    • Untick "show the spotlight box on the home feed", "show trending subreddits on the home feed" and "show me links I've recently viewed"
    • Tick "don't show me submissions after I've upvoted them (except my own)" and "don't show me submissions after I've downvoted them (except my own)"
    • Untick "allow subreddits to show me custom themes"
    • (Opt) ask reddit to only show you ten links at once and 20 comments. That'll force you to click and disrupt your reading experience.
  4. Go to your browser history and get rid of links to reddit so it will stop auto-completing and suggesting you reddit pages.

BOOM! Reddit is still fully usable, but a lot less fun and shiny. Your automatic "type in reddit" habit also leads to a disappointing front page.
