6 Simple Ways to Reduce Screen Time and Improve Your Wellbeing

Track Your Screen Time

Start by tracking the amount of time you spend on your phone and computer. This will give you a clear picture of where your time is going and help you make informed decisions about reducing screen time.

• Use the screen time tracking feature on your phone
• Consider using an app like Rescue Time to monitor computer usage

Turn Off Notifications

Disable unnecessary notifications on your phone to avoid constant distractions that lead to increased screen time.

• Keep notifications limited to essential functions like calls and messages
• Turn your phone on silent mode and place it face down to minimize distractions

Switch to Black and White Screen

Changing your phone screen to black and white can reduce the visual appeal of apps and help curb excessive phone usage.

• Accessibility settings on iPhones allow you to switch to grayscale
• Create a shortcut for easy toggling between color and grayscale

Delete Social Media Apps

Take a break from social media by deleting apps from your phone to decrease temptation and improve focus on more meaningful activities.

Block Distracting Websites

Use website blocking tools like Freedom to limit access to time-wasting sites during work hours and enhance productivity.

Create Distance from Your Phone

Consider leaving your phone behind for short outings or designate screen-free days like the Minimalists do to break the habit of constant phone usage.
