For anyone struggling, turning the screen to black and white helps. Less dopamine per hit makes it easier to break those habits.

- davchana 4y agoI did that few weeks ago after reading a similar comment here on hn. It helped, phone was less interesting; but then monkey brain made it a challenge game to assume, guess & fill colors in screen display images. More brain taxing, I changed it back to regular.
- wcchandler 4y agoI never thought to do this and already enabled it per your comment. Let’s see how it goes the rest of the weekend.
- Mezzie 4y agoI genuinely prefer greyscale displays. If I weren't visually impaired and/or so much UX didn't rely on color, I'd turn it off permanently except for art creation.
- phonescreen_man 4y agoInteresting, Set it to find out for myself
- Aeolun 4y agoColor filters under Accessability, for those on iOS.
- MacsHeadroom 4y agoSame place on Android, incidentally.
- thrown_22 4y agoI wasn't even aware that's an option. If nothing else it might make late night usage of the phone much less disruptive to sleep.
