How to cut your screen time in half with 1 click

It’s normal nowadays to have an average screen time on your phone of 4+ hours. If you’re like me however, that’s not acceptable.

We would rather use that time to be:

• Live life in the real world instead of the digital one

• Spend the time with loved ones

• Use the time to be more productive and live an intentional life

Being a slave to your phone is not something of your own doing. You’ll have a hard time using discipline to lower your screen time. Using willpower alone is like fighting an uphill battle.

The smartest minds in the world created your phone and their apps to be as addictive as possible. These are giant tech companies that spend billions of dollars to make us addicted.

One of the tools that they use in the battle for our attention is the effective use of bright colors.

UX (user experience) designers use bright and vibrant colors for a reason. They do it to hack our brains and dopamine systems. This way our brain gets shortcutted and you open apps one autopilot. Without even realizing it.

They use the power of human psychology to keep you addicted and make you crave your phone.

So I’ll give you the strongest weapon you can use to fight back against phone addiction. You do this by enabling the grayscale option on your phone.

It’s a simple way to make your phone as unsexy as possible.

The way to use it is quite simple. Check out this excellent article and see how to use it for:

• Android phones

• Google pixel phones

After 3 days of using it, turn it back and see the difference it makes and the experience you have.

You should cut phone time by making the environment less addictive. Don't rely on willpower. You can do this.

Keep improving 👊
