I was definitely addicted to my phone right around the last election cycle. Podcasts, reddit politics threads, other social media, websites, you name it. Luckily, its an easy habit to kick. I use timers and a tracking app on my phone to monitor pickups and screen time spent. I try to hit 12 hours between opening any social media apps, 6 hours between opening any news apps etc. I've managed to get it down to under an hour a day.

Are you on iOS or Android? I find these tools for iOS are more limited. Maybe I'm missing something?

    Do you use that yourself to limit app usage? I'm interested to try it. I did for a bit. I found it showed me "this is how much you used your phone too much in the past", but it couldn't influence my present or future behaviour directly.

What do you use?

  I use a timer app called Timeglass and have timers for 'social' 'news' etc. And an app called Moment which tracks pickups and total time.
