      I set my phone display settings to black and white. It gives your brain less of a dopamine hit when you look at your phone so you won’t be as addicted to it. It works wonders for my screen time

      Ask yourself directly, as a matter of reflex; “What is it I hope to get out of my phone?” when you reflexively take it out.

      Also, commonly ask yourself “What would I like to do today?” Whether that’s something enjoyable for yourself, or an important task. It’s difficult to realize that while many tasks take some planning and commitment, there’s plenty of time in the day to get them done if you can work past the stress of starting.

      A little bit at a time. Also replace it actively with some other habit.

      Maybe get a kindle and read books at night. Slightly different while still keeping the same physical habit.

      Know about it. Then look for it in others. Make yourself disgusted by it. Look in the mirror. That probably won’t break the habit but you’ll hate yourself a little more.

    This is me, right this moment. About to put the phone away. Any moment now. I promise.

    Has anyone tried just moving to the bigger screen? It’s easy to doomscroll on a phone but when I have an entire KDE desktop in front of me, it just doesn’t hit the same. Try browsing lemmy on your pc instead of phone. It feels nostalgic. Like 2000s forums where you’d post a computer question and everyone would call you gay. Now instead of gay being a bad thing there’s femboys and it’s amazing because all the nsfw content is better now.
