having your phone be black and white makes every app 10x less addictive. i turn my phone on & off black and white depending on what i’m doing and there’s an easy way to switch back and forth in settings by triple clicking the side button:
accessibility > general > accessibility shortcut > color filters
and then you can go to color filters (just search it) and choose grayscale. i set mine at ~90% intensity so i can still see a hint of color.
i love looking up from my phone and thinking “wow, the world is so colorful”

then changing it back once you're out of work mode to enjoy color even more.
Accessibility > Shortcut > Color Filters (triple click side button for iPhone)

Small thing that’s just helped me spend less time on my phone is switching everything to grayscale so it’s less fun to look at and it’s helped a lot. Makes my phone feel more like a tool and not an extension of my body. it’s somewhere in the accessibility menu on iPhone

If you’re on an iPhone go to settings>accessibility>display and text size>color filters>on and tap on black and white. So much of it is lizard brain being engaged by bright colors so if it’s all black and white I find myself looking at it way less.
Android also has a setting for it here https://birchtree.me/blog/how-to-set-your-iphone-or-android-phone-to-black-and-white-and-why-its-a-fun-experiement/

rather than taking 10. your camera roll will look magical and curated!
I used to be the type of person to spam take photos and all I ended up with was a cluttered camera roll and no storage…
taking one photo is freeing and i think it is such a fun way to document life. your camera roll can really be a wonderful place
