deleting apps you don't need + decluttering apps off the home screen if you don't use it everyday, viewing or deleting every visible notification, and tucking instagram deep in the "other apps" group so i can slowly train myself not to just open it on autopilot when i look at my phone. what's your ideal home screen?

In addition to what others have already suggested, I’ve had pretty good luck with creating a separate screen for apps I’m ”allowed” any time while deleting or putting on a different screen/folder the apps I’m trying to limit. So for example my email, texts, notes app, DuoLingo and Kindle app are the only ones visible, encouraging me to read or write or study or catch up with friends rather than scroll infinitely on social media. That way if I’m still struggling to limit overall screen time (which I try to do by leaving my phone on the charger most of the day when possible), I feel like I’m at least making better use (for me personally) of the screen time I might be craving. 😅

i figured i’m probably a phone addict (arent we all?), so in addition to not keeping my phone in my pocket while i’m at home and muting notifications for every app except phone and messages, i deleted almost ever non-necessary app and put all the apps i use most on my home screen. hopefully this makes me smarter 🙏
if anyone has done something like this and has suggestions/advice lmk

Absolutely cannot take credit for this (my husband hipped me to the concept). Basically, you delete or hide most of your apps so you’re down to a bare minimum. I could probably stand to chop a couple more… but the idea is, you have less readily distracting you on your phone!
Here’s my new home screen.
