Three iPhone Habits That Helped Me Fight Tech Addiction

Do these 3 things if you own an iPhone. They helped me fight my tech addiction.

1. Enable the color filter and remove colors

Apps use colors to make us more attentive. Certain colors can trigger instincts in us and reinforce addiction.

As soon as I turned a color filter on my phone, my usage dropped as it is less interesting.

2. No phone for the first and last hour of the day

A morning routine without the phone changes the way I feel about my whole day. I can't make this work every day but every morning without it is a win for me.

3. Eat without the phone

The food tastes better, and I am able to eat slower without my phone. This is the biggest challenge for me, especially when I eat alone.
