I think that's a misunderstanding of how ADHD, and in fact mental illness in general, works. Perhaps for some people removing the distraction will work, but more often in my experience another will just fit in its place. The phone is not the problem, it is a symptom.
Literally fucking anything that seems more pleasant than thing I'm procrastinating
The phone isn't what causes this issue in people with adhd, I do it with or without a phone. You're just misunderstanding how adhd works.
I agree on phone usage restriction apps. You can also extend the usage as a reward for achieving things which would work as an external motivation that ADHD people need. I also agree with other people that it won't even be close to solving ADHD problems, people were just arguing with you about different thing because they thought that you have the same perception of ADHD as the top level comment.
If you're aware of how adhd works then you of all people should know that "throw your phone in the toilet" is shite advice that only someone who doesn't know how adhd works would give. If you have adhd then you should know better than that.
"throw your phone in the toilet" is not and has never been the solution to this problem in any universe under the sun, so no, it's not just because they said something I don't like. They're just backpedalling.
Man just read the meme again. The whole point is it looks like an attention trap but in ADHD it's just a facade.
