I’ve been having great success in reducing my “terminally online” behaviour, so I’m going even further:

⏲️ app limits 
🧘 focus modes and offline hours
📰 monochromatic mode

🆕 hiding social apps to avoid temptation during leisure time

the goal is not disconnection, but intentional use only

Well played! I use bedtime mode and don’t use it when I’m in my bedroom—except as an alarm clock—but I’m haven’t got quite as much will power as you. I usually hop on socials within an hour or so of waking up.

Very interesting experiment. Last year, in order to finish my master's degree, I left my phone on "bedtime" mode (do not disturb + screen in black and white) and only picked it up 3 hours after waking up. It was great for my concentration and for my mental health.

I’m on iOS and minimalist “launcher” workarounds on here are burdensome. My hope is that I can train myself to control the addiction myself. I’ll use tools to help, like the ones I mentioned, but I’m hopeful I don’t have to go full dumb phone to do it. Believe me I’ve considered it though.

If you have Android, minimalist launchers are great

This is the way 🚀 
Reclaiming your time to focus is one of the healthiest things you can do in this day and age. Some people are so sucked in, they don’t think they have the option to pause the treadmill to regain composure. Sometimes you just need to see someone else do it so you know how it can be done. 
Happy to see you’re taking back control @thumbsup.eth

Yeah I'm starting to check into WC way too often now.
