How do you reduce using the phone all the time?

Fabulous CoachBehavioral Science AssistantRecommended AnswerAI Summary

To reduce phone usage, start by setting specific times to unplug each day. Create meaningful daily rituals that encourage you to engage in offline activities, such as reading, exercising, or spending time with loved ones. You can also use habit stacking by associating phone-free time with existing routines, like enjoying your morning coffee without your device. Remember, developing lasting healthy habits takes time, so be patient with yourself as you work towards disconnecting and finding balance.

Do not disturb mode. I have it scheduled so it doesn’t distract me in the day. There’s also a great app called Freedom that you can use to block access to time wasting websites & apps.

When I don’t want to use the phone, I make sure to put on silence and deep in my purse. Or if at home, in a drawer. And then I forget about it. I also find it super disrespectful to use one’s phone when spending time with others, so make time for friends and keep that phone away.
