“Reduce your vices”: take control back

2026-04-15 · Monkway

Vices rarely start with a big decision. They start as an automatic loop: urge → consume → short relief → more urges.

The Reduce your vices set helps you create space between the urge and the action.

What’s inside (and why)

  • Vice‑free day: a clear line—today you don’t negotiate.
  • Delay urge 15 min: breaking “right now” is often enough.
  • Remove visible triggers: if you see it, you do it. Design the environment.
  • No consumption before sleep: end the day without cheap dopamine and sleep better.

How to use it

This isn’t about infinite willpower. It’s about design: environment + delay + intention.
