The Struggle with Phone Addiction
We’ve all heard that nagging voice before: "Put the phone away. No, really this time." But the reality is, most of us can’t resist the temptation of our phones. A staggering 84 percent of Americans admit to being online either several times a day or "almost constantly."
Reflecting on Our Priorities
When considering how to break free from the constant scrolling, it’s essential to reflect on our priorities. What kind of life do we want to look back on? Do we want to remember spending time with loved ones and pursuing meaningful activities, or do we want to recall hours spent staring at our screens?

The usual advice to use grayscale screens and app timers can be helpful, but it’s not enough. To truly cut back on our screen time, we need new and innovative strategies. Experts who specialize in promoting a healthier relationship with technology have shared some effective, yet lesser-known, tricks to help us achieve this goal.
Breaking Up with Our Phones
It’s time to rethink our relationship with our phones and find ways to use them in a more balanced and intentional way. By exploring new approaches and strategies, we can learn to use our phones in a way that supports our well-being, rather than controlling our lives.
