How are you still getting spam calls through if your phone blocks all unsaved and unlisted numbers?

I don't mean that, I mean a setting to automatically block potential spam numbers. You can also auto block unlisted numbers and unsaved numbers on some phones, with workarounds (eg call twice within 3 minutes).

That's a built-in setting on most mobiles these days.

Same reason you don't pick a fight with a scrawny kid with a gun. But if he starts a fistfight, you punch back.

Reply to How do you get yourself motivated when you've always been driven by threat/anxiety/trauma? [Discussion] by ElegantCherries
Motivation is easy*, that's just doing what you want/ avoiding what you don't want. Not getting destroyed by a threat is pretty good motivation.
Discipline is a skill that you have to learn and practice. It's all about doing the things you don't want to do. That's hard when your primary motivators have historically been "don't die, don't get attacked, don't be poor, don't live on the street" etc, stuff like that.
You said you give things up after a month (presumably when you lose motivation)? Make it last 6 weeks. You don't start tasks until 2 weeks out? Make yourself start 3 weeks out.
Build the skill. Train it like a muscle. Start earlier, stay longer, push harder.
And give it time; progress is incremental not instant. If you're already succeeding, that's a pretty good foundation to start from. Now just get better at it.
*I don't mean getting motivated is easy, I just mean it's easy to do the things we want to do when we want to do them.

Automation hasn't really done much to reduce our work/workload. They just gave us new tasks to pick from

It won't change a single thing about figure; we'll still be the poor rubes working til we die while a select group of jackasses turn their billions into quadrillions.
