Here are a few tips to get you started.
Use screen time and set app limits!
App Limits limit the amount of time you can spend using a particular app. You specify the apps (or whole categories of apps) and your phone will refuse to launch them when you've reached the allotted time. It's great for limiting how much time you spend on apps like YouTube but can also help you if you struggle setting limits on things like your social media addiction.
Even after you reach an App Limit, you can override it by entering a passcode. That means you will never be locked out of your apps completely (unless you don't know the code), but setting the limit still might be enough to give you pause when opening Instagram for the millionth time at 3 am.
Take More Breaks
Take frequent breaks from technology! Go for a run outside, hang out with friends, play a game of cards, do yoga, make a salad, etc! It is important to give your eyes rest and taking frequent breaks also proved to make you more efficient.
Give Yourself A Social Media Cleanse
Social media is quickly becoming an addiction in our hyper-connected world. Maybe you don't even realize how much you depend on those comments, shares and follows. If you find yourself checking your socials every few minutes/hours, it may be time for a social-media cleanse. Take a social media hiatus for a week, and then gradually take a hiatus for a month or two. You will start to see positive effects in your daily life!
