Cool! Have done a similar thing in the past with AP Psychology and Anki. ChatGPT is really helpful for turning Quizlet-esque flashcards into good-quality copy+pasteable Cloze cards in Anki.
That's a good point. When I wrote the article, I was thinking of the younger phone-addicted generation as my 'audience' and trying to convince them to spend time on doing meaningful things instead of just doom-scrolling on their phone. That's who I was writing for. My apologies if it came across as cliche.
That's fair. It's helpful for me to break time into discrete 'blocks' because in my mind, it sets off more alarm bells to say "I wasted 4 blocks" rather than "I wasted 40 minutes". But otherwise, yeah. It's pretty standard "don't waste your time" advice when it comes down to it.
Yeah, it is unfortunately quite a bit harder to put on these types of games in a suburban area. Hence why I'm trying to do this type of stuff in college, while it's easy ;)
