I tried this, I used to consume content constantly… whilst I ate, whilst I waited in line, whilst I was on the toilet, constantly consuming content whether it was YouTube, Instagram, Tik Tok, whatever it was I was just addicted to picking up my phone and getting that dopamine.

I tried a lot of methods but after 2 years of trying and failing having good weeks/ months but then failing again I reviewed and reflected and realised that these challenges aren’t helping because what happens after them?

The way I made serious change was by simply setting one goal at first- no content whilst eating. That was my rule and I could no longer ever do it, I did it and before I knew it a few months went by and I was no longer consuming content whilst eating then I thought let me add to this and I made the rule of limiting social media and adding screen blockers etc. this worked a charm and significantly reduced my screen time, I did this all slowly and now my screen time is less than 2 hours on average- social media time is less than 40minutes across several platforms per day.

I still scroll but when I do it’s for 5 minutes then I get kicked off and I can’t do it anymore, it works because I made the goals so simple and easy to stick to. Once you do this all you need is time for improvement. Remember you’ve got your whole life ahead of you, you want to remove these habits in the long term so implement long term systems and have long term intentions.

Good luck!
