If it\u2019s social media apps like most people, add a screentime limit to it and then don\u2019t ignore the limit when it comes up. I put an hour limit on my social media sites. No limit on creativity apps since I do not feel guilty about using those.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Taher T.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Try assigning time blocks and organize them (like screen time at the end of day).<br \/>\nThen start using a timer (I prefer pomodoro) for each time block.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Iole S.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Don&#39;t feel guilty about this. It&#39;s not your fault. You fell in an addiction circle in which the environment plays a main role. Establish some phone-free zones in your home. Take a book instead near to your bed or&#8230; in the bathroom! Take notes, write down your emotions when you are far away to your phone and make a meaningful list of true motivations because you&#39;d better limit your time on the smartphone.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Katarzyna F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I don&#39;t know the answer, but just want to write that you&#39;re not alone, cos I same similar situation! I&#39;m addicted to the phone (especially Instagram) so for time to time &#8211; when I feel really bad with wasting time on it &#8211; I uninstall Instagram. Sometimes I do different trick: I clear the app data (in settings) so then before using the Instagram I need to log in one more time. Typing my e-mail and password every time I start the app is tiresome \ud83d\ude0f so eventually I let go and don&#39;t use the app at all.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Noelia T.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Well, I sometimes also have this problem so what I try to do is having a timer for social media: 30 min maximum in each app<br \/>\nSocial media it\u2019s one of the reasons why we are hours and hours in our mobiles.<br \/>\nAlso you can try new things that have nothing to do with the mobile! Hope this helps you \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Kacey N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">First of all, try not to be too hard on yourself. Recognizing the issue is important! Congrats.<br \/>\nCheck your stats to see which apps are stealing the most time from you, and then try to reduce it by setting timers, or only allowing yourself on certain apps during certain times of the day. I only check Facebook between 12-3.<br \/>\nAnd remember, you\u2019re technically battling an addiction. Your phone is designed to keep you engaged, whether you like it or not.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Howard C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Well, I think they are a few things you can do to help reduce your screen time. I would start by figuring out where the majority of you time is spent and go from there. Perhaps if social media is your problem taking a month hiatus or setting a time specific to scrolling through your social media. Another thing you can do is try getting a hobby to you occupied, perhaps reading a book or doing something artsy. Getting up and being active can also be a deterrent from looking at your phone. So perhaps going for a walk, or setting up an exercise routine can help. I hope you found any of this information helpful, and good luck!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jacqueline N.
