I started by being conscious of limiting non productive phone use and when feeling the urge to browse on social media or other un productive phone tasks I think of better alternatives to spend my time wisely. After a few weeks of this it became much easier.
Breaking a phone addiction is not easy. It can actually be very difficult. I’ve had days when I was on my phone for 8+ hours so I should know. It’s sometimes easy to forget that there’s a life outside our phones, computers or screens. There’s a real world with beautiful people and nature to explore. Technology has gotten better at drawing us in - I’m talking about the algorithms at Youtube, Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok that know what we like and they constantly hit us with more of that. It’s not a case of do this and you’ll be “cured” of phone addiction. Some things work, others won’t.
@maya-miller And how many hours are you spending on your phone now, Maya? And what did you do to reduce this number?
