The other day my phone wasn't charging for some reason and I had it off all day. I felt better and got more done and spent time with my family. No joke.
All I use it for is scrolling reddit, scrolling hexbear, listening to podcasts, and occasionally getting a text or phone call. Scrolling reddit in partucular is bad because i pretty much hate everything i see there, I dont know whats wrong with me. I can't just get rid of it because I like podcasts and need to get phone calls.
What do?
Some suggestions:
Make use of app timers if your phone has them.
Alternatively, uninstall the apps. Reddit sucks on mobile browser; you'll naturally use it less.
Set your phone to grayscale if you can. Still perfectly functional but way less appealing to use because no pretty colours.
I already just go to reddit.com on my browser and scroll, lol. I can't get rid of the browser app because graphineOS doesn't allow you to get rid of it, so I can't use a browser that can block sites or whatever, and yeah, I do have the occasional thing I do actually want to use a browser for. The greyscale thing is interesting tho, I'm gonna look into that. Could be a nice constant reminder that I'm only sucking the colour out of my life when I use it.
If you're on graphene, it's in Settings -> Accessibility -> Color and motion -> color correction
