My favorite personal tip is to turn off colors on the phone and run in pure black and white mode :) I've done this for about 2 years now and I loove it!

IF you try any tricks to reduce reliance, stimulation and/or distraction on your phone, go into Screen Time (or Android equivalent) and take a screenshot of how much you've picked up your phone in the last 7 days (because Screen Time doesn't maintain history) so you can compare later on to see if you've improved!



Thank you for the reminder to turn grayscale back on.

I really like its impact on my phone usage, but occasionally I come across something that I want/need color for, and don't always remember to turn grayscale back on again when I'm done.
