Add friction to old behaviors and reduce friction for desired behaviors

What's worked for me is deleting social apps off my phone (out of sight, out of mind) and enabling iOS Screen Time restrictions on the web views of the same social sites. This let's me pop in when neccessary through the browser when friends send me links or I need to catch up with people, but makes it annoying enough that I don't want to hang around. I've done this for over a year and I've gone from checking Twitter and Instagram multiple times a day to barely monthly for Twitter and a few times a week with Instagram.

delete apps you want to be off of and access on the browser

I know I can't shake instagram for good, i'm not that strong, but I deleted the app and only go on the browser when I really feel like I need to be on it. makes it a much less desirable experience and I spend way less time on my phone in general

delete your social media accounts

I’m not talking about disabling I’m talking about deleting your fucking Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, whatever. The posting, scrolling, liking is helping nobody. Hardcore for some but the path I’ve chosen

Guys, i kind of want to go back to this

Smartphones today are TOO connected. I don’t want to be reached all of the time by a million apps. Give me an email app I have to manually update, games with no ads, and apps that cannot track everything I do on my device.
