Over the years, I've experienced this many times.

After being addicted to something (game/movie/YouTube/etc.) for lengthy hours, mental refractory period kicked in so I enjoyed a lot less, then I felt a urge of resolution to stop consuming them, maybe followed by some "commitment" like deleting game/cancelling sub/etc., hoping to become a better person next day.

Yet, next morning, my hunger for instant satisfaction refilled, and addiction resumed.

Has anyone successfully handled such situation and got any experience to share?

I'm a junior developer. Candidate could literally be my father and is for a manager position, with solid background. FWIW there're are also rounds of interviews with seniors.

Algorithm questions could be last resort, design questions might end up making myself the interviewee...what else then?
