When it comes to limiting my phone use, I tried them all.
- Turn screen into greyscale to reduce stimulation.
- Shuffling app folder to break the swipe habit.
- Block URL.
- Setup a screen time passcode to remind myself.
But I always find ways to revoke it.
The frustration came from a 2 hour Saturday night doom scroll YouTube on Safari (It’s always Safari).
I decided to make the cost of revoke much higher and add enforce a replacing pattern. I asked my daughter to change the screen time passcode. And forget about it.
In a situation that I need to use the browser, I need to go through the process of passcode recovery. It’s a lot of work.
For replacement, I made podcast and Kindle obvious on the home screen.
