tried a timer for night picks

Night shift again, so my risky window is 2–4 a.m. This week I tried a dumb timer: I put the crackers on the far counter and set 10 minutes before I opened them.

Wednesday at 2:40 I hit the timer. By the time it rang I was refilling my water and half the urge was gone. I still ate some. Just not the whole sleeve.

It wasn’t some big breakthrough. It did break the autopilot, which is the part that gets me. I’m keeping it for now.

Anyone else use a delay trick that doesn’t feel like homework?
