How Can We Cut Our Phone Screen Time?
Ask a Question
Hi All,
Everyone started using their mobile phones for long time nowadays. Post your suggestion to reduce the phone screen time.
I guess the main thing is self discipline. Having hard boundaries such as no phone screen time between say 9pm and 8am.
As jms said, only you can do this. Not only self discipline but whether you are willing to take any advice given. My own advice would be to sit at table for meals leaving phones in another room. Also if you are intending to watch a programme do the same, put the phone out of your eyeline and turn sound off.
People always say what about emergencies but how often in a lifetime would that occur?
Stop looking down while walking in street would be a good one. The amount of people that nearly bump into me because not looking where they are going. I never ever do this. Also as L says put it away at dinner table and have an actual conversation! Otherwise set your timer and say that’s enough for today.
It's really hard isn't it
Phones are always pinging an flashing up with notifications. It's hard
Jerseydrew But am turning off my wi fi while sleeping. So avoiding notifications during those times
Nobody can change the way you use your phone but yourself. Put the thing down and forget about It. I only use mine because It Is the next best thing to having a house phone. Otherwise, I hate the darn thing.
There is an option to check screen time in every phone. Self control will help to reduce screentime
Removing apps from your phone but keep on the desktop or laptop. I removed my insta not that I had many followers or followed many. I deactivated fb and never had one my phone except messenger. See what feels healthy and what feels unhealthy and question if you can check that on laptop and remove on phone. We do not need to be on or available all the time and to everyone.
Turn off notifications .. they'll tempt you to take one look and then next thing you know your watching a cake recipe lol
Such a good question. We are all so glued to our phones these days.... Yes putting it in another room, switching it off... The only real way is discipline and strong will!
Switch it off and/or leave it at home.Go out a meet and greet people without hooking into your phone 24/7/365.You can do it.
