Many of us are spending too much time on our phones and can find ourselves doomscrolling on social media for far too long every day. Fortunately, there are things you can do to kick your phone addiction, so here are five ways you can reduce your screen time. Firstly, turn off notifications for non-essential apps, as you're more than likely going to pick up your phone if you get an alert or your screen lights up. You should also use the built-in features on your phone, which will help you set time limits on each app and notify you when you've reached that limit. Try to avoid quitting phone usage abruptly, as it may be difficult to maintain; instead, gradually reduce your screen time by 10–15 minutes each day. If you're going to put your phone down, you'll need to fill the time through other hobbies such as reading or a form of exercise. Lastly, you can reduce your screen time by designating certain rooms in your home as phone-free areas, allowing you to spend more time with loved ones.
