Digital detox shall be part of every internet user's life. I like your compromises.
As a side note with regards to writing and accessing documents offline, it's mental to see how many people use cloud-based services to do a simple thing that is writing. You shouldn't need an internet connection to write, cmon. To me the best writing setup - if you're willing to do typing and not handwriting - is to use plain text formats like markdown. No need for "no distraction mode" or any other thing...simply a blank page and the cursor.
Then you can decide to upload files wherever you want or you can even do the chad thing of syncing them with a Versioning system like Git and self host or use a privacy oriented Git remote service. To me that's the best writing setup and it's innately offline.
Agree. That tiny bit of convenience of having decent tools online is NOT worth the actual need to be online - along with all the distraction that implies.
I use Notepad++, along with a user defined language for "folding" - in other words, being able to just see the section headers. It takes care of 99% of what I need.
