I taught myself to turn off my computer really quickly, if I am procrastinating before leaving the house. Rather than making it a big decision, or a super important moment, it's just a blink of an eye and then there's no more computing holding my attention. I can do it before really appreciating that I've even made a decision, it's almost like pulling a sneaky one on myself.

In the same way you don't think explicitly about putting your right shoe on after you've put your on left, I try to make it so I don't think about turning off the computer during the moments I try to leave the house.
