At least you recognize it. That’s really no different from before LLMs though. In fact, learning tech before was even more work, because you’d have to go read a bunch of docs to learn syntax, etc.

So for you it sounds like less a question of “how do I not use it” and more a question of “how do I hold myself accountable to learning a thing”. At the end of the day, either you want to learn or you don’t. LLMs are just a tool.
