I used to spend up to 13 hours a day on my phone—despite working a 9-5, exercising, and doing research. So I decided to fight back, using my psychology background to hack my screen habits. After six months of trial and error, I’ve finally cut my screentime by 80%—but not in the way you might expect.

What You'll Learn:
📱 My dumbphone-inspired setup (and how to recreate it for iOS & Android)
⏳ The screen restriction apps that actually work
⚠️ Common screentime "hacks" that made things worse
🚀 My 2025 strategy for minimising phone time without missing out

I’ve tested minimalist launchers, screen time blockers, and notification restrictions—some were game-changers, others made me waste more time. If you’re looking for practical ways to cut your screentime without giving up essential apps, learn from my mistakes before making your own dumbphone setup.
