Phone addiction 2.0

well I'm back to this website though it seems I never was because my profile is kinda empty, I cleared it a bit. The only thing left is this blog entry 11 months ago about phone addiction. Well now I'd say I improved a little bit but it is still far from perfect. The things I did this summer 1) quit tiktok and disabled youtube shorts so there are no short videos anymore 2) almost got rid of addiction to look through old chats and pictures in phone gallery continuously 3)started to use laptop instead of phone whenever its possible because here I dont get distracted by scrolling so much 4) quit the only remaining social media I had (VK, it's russian) wellll I would say I feel better, refraining from short videos made especially huge difference. What I d like to do now is 1) get rid of youtube addiction lol 2) become able to wake up without phone 3) dont use phone an hour before sleep 4) listen to music less (some of it affects my mental health now and makes nervous) but thats already in progress. I ll make an update in a month!

This is quite some journey! I'm also trying to get less screen time on my phone. It's affecting my mindset and everyday activity where I constantly keep looking at my lock screen every 10 seconds to check if there's any notifications coming in

thankss!! do you struggle with this too? I just feel that I consume so much information from phone daily but its either thing I've already seen thousand times or something useless that does not bring me any real knowledge or satisfaction
