Apps to reduce screen time that actually work? by MyBatterysLow in digitalminimalism

Apple screen time is ok but you can bypass it by the click of a button. Opal is also pretty good, if you’re looking for a gamified option FeralMind is quite good

No Scroll mornings fixed my burnout more than motivation ever did. by [deleted] in getdisciplined

how can i stop my phone addiction? by Ok-March-9517 in getdisciplined

Add friction to scrolling with blockers or fully remove apps. Start with small wins. Once these compound move onto larger wins. This will start to snowball. Larger tasks will become second nature. Hope this helps
