Yes! What have you replaced phone time with? Has it worked?

Just giving myself a second to breathe. My whole day - between work and school - involves sitting in front of a screen. So it’s nice when I can just put my phone on do not disturb, steep my favourite tea and put on a eucalyptus candle. I spend the time either tidying my room (I feel like I always feel less stressed after cleaning my room? My head also feels a lot less cluttered). Or I spend the time with my mom. I definitely get addicted to using my phone, just like a lot of people. But doing this for myself, even if it’s a couple hours out of the day, feels amazing. Cheers.

I’ve replaced phone time with walking, reading and project completion. I use scroll time as a reward for achieving goals.

Reading physical books, gardening, playing with my cat. Going on walks. Having a quiet tea drink before bed. Decluttering my apartment. I just have so much more time when I’m not on my phone. :)

I didn’t need to use my phone less, I needed to use it for the right things like keeping up with friends and managing my calendar. It’s important to switch it off at night, or leave it in another room though so you don’t look at it if you happen to wake up at night and get distracted by work emails/ social media.

I’ve replaced phone time with reading, writing, exercising, listening to music and sometimes just sitting still. When I feel like I’m looking on my phone too long or too much, I do one of the things I’ve listed. I’m trying to be more productive and effective with my time and not waste time scrolling on my phone. I do use my phone for my daily bible devotionals. So I don’t count that as wasted phone time. I’m more cognizant of trying to practice positive habits and do things toward realizing my dreams and not wasting time scrolling on my phone.

I am in process. I know I am still on my phone more than I would like. BUT have watched NO tv. We have family dinners, play games, go to bed early to read.

I’m not sure it has been completely replaced. I find doing activities with or talking to my family members and friends helps a lot, though I still use my phone to show pictures of cool things and such.

ermmm.. listening to audibooks. I like it cos its relaxing and can just turn phone light off and listen to the person soothing really.

I’ve challenged myself to read 12 books this year so I’m intentionally unwinding with a book! I’m an avid reader so I save all of my reading time for the end of the day.

I’m really enjoying sudokus before bed. Also I have a book I got for Christmas that’s a really interesting read. It’s short stories so it’s easy to digest small bits at a time. I have other short story collections I should read too, since they’re much less daunting than a novel.
