How do you reduce phone screen time?

Srs feel like im addicted to my iphone - sometimes I use it for useful stuff but a lot of time its jsu tpointless proscratination.


I am tempted to just replace it with a brick phone with no apps but theres a few things like uber, some of the financial apps etc which are geneuinely useful. I also use whatsapp to communicate with my team at work but think you can get that on your laptop if need be

Just put the phone away. It's that simple. You might want to dose off if you are dealing with addiction but get real, man. You are dealing with a discipline issue here

Switch it to airplane mode, then every time you pick it up you're like, "oh yeah."

well its not a physical addiction in the sense of an alcoholic or heroin addict who has physical symptoms. But I would say smart phone addiction is probably the msot common addiction in our society these days srs

I try to spend time away from screens in general (smartphone, laptop, desktop, TV, etc). Gotta get some cool hobbies and spend time outdoors. I make it a habit to go on bike rides and skate and hike in the woods a few times a week. Likewise, spending time doing stuff that doesn't require my smartphone or any kind of screen (playing guitar, reading paperback novels/books, etc). It's easy to get stuck in the loop of scrolling Twitter or Reddit or even Misc. You just got to discipline yourself and schedule your time better.
