Disagree. "Just do it" works for some people. Not everyone. In my experience, I hated looking at a gray screen, so I just stop using my phone when it's in gray

  But they didn’t say “just do it” :) They said “spend effort ensuring other meaningful time-draws are around that are more fulfilling/less damaging”. Relevant excerpt: > the actual problem is finding meaningful activities to replace your empty screen time, which isn't necessarily easy.

    That's true. I came off too dismissive. I like the advice, I was just disagreeing with: > it’s clear to me why they rarely work: ... and > boring old discipline is much more sustainable approach I like the idea of trying a more holistic approach, but grayscale doesn't have to contradict with that. Some people (myself included) can use grayscale as a tool alongside other things.
