I've had multiple times when I launched Boost (my third party app of choice - at least until it's forced to shut down) out of force of habit.

Thankfully, I planned for this eventuality. I installed a "focus" app and set it to block Boost and the Reddit app for 2 days. (I've since also moved the apps away from their usual spot on my phone to prevent launches.)

I just uninstalled BaconReader a couple of days ago. I replaced its shortcut with Jerboa yesterday.

I logged into old a few times since to check for any orangereds, but it's been long enough now that I never need to go back to check on anything.
