Start taking small steps toward creating a healthier relationship with your device. Take control of it, not the opposite.

 

Breaking free from the digital addiction and recognising the need to disconnect can be challenging. But If you are here still reading this post, that's maybe your brain yelling "hey, it's time to do something about this phone obsession" .

Next time, when you reach to your phone, ask yourself :

• Am I about do to something important, or am I hunting for another useless cat video ?

• Why I am opening Instagram and TikTok right now ?

• Do I really need to check my phone, or should I just put it down and actually enjoy this meal with my friend?  

  

How can we break the habit of using our phones for no real reasons ?

 

           - Stop, Breath, Tap

 Have you heard of the One Sec app? It’s an absolute gem if you’re trying to figure out why you keep opening social media without thinking. Here’s how it works: every time you try to open an app, it makes you pause for about 20 seconds before letting you in.

It sounds so simple, but those 20 seconds feel like forever—and that’s the point. It gives you just enough time to stop and think, “Wait, why am I even doing this? Do I actually want to scroll right now?”

It’s such a simple concept, but incredibly effective at breaking the cycle of mindless scrolling. If you’ve been struggling to cut, this app might just be the help you need.

Before you get sucked (again) into an endless loophole designed to draw you in for hours, have a look : https://one-sec.app

Wait.. And breath.

 

 

          - Grey Days, Bright Minds

You know how apps are designed with all those bright colors and eye-catching created to grab our attention and keep us scrolling forever? You know what I mean right ? Well.. what if you took all that away? What if you put your phone in black and white.

The result ? Nothing much, honestly. Without those bright, sparkling colors, your screen suddenly feels... borring. There's no eye candy, nothing exciting to draw you in. Your phone becomes less of a shiny distraction and more of a practical tool.

And isn’t that exactly what we want ? To help you regain control and turns your phone back into what it should be: a tool, not a distraction.

A little Back-to-Black moment for your mindset.

“Accessibility > Display & Text Size > Color Filters. Turn the Color Filters toggle OFF” And see how long you last..

 

           - Morning Freedom.

When was the last time you woke up and didn’t touch your phone in the first hour ?

When we wake up, our minds are still in a pretty delicate state. We’re coming out of sleep, shaking off the dreams, and slowly getting back into our bodies. The last thing we need in that moment is the rush of messages, emails, and social media hitting us as soon as we unlock our phones. It’s like jumping straight into chaos before we’ve even had a chance to breathe.

Think about it—how do you feel when the first thing you do is open Instagram and see someone out having a blast while you’re still waking up, maybe feeling a little disconnected or even down about your own situation? All thoses information, most of it unnecessary, just adds stress and distractions we don’t need when we wake up.

Why not try something different? Challenge yourself to go phone-free for the first hour of your day. Let your mind and body wake up without the noise. Read, stretch, meditate, cuddle your partner or just enjoy the calm and quiet of the morning.

How you start your day can shape your whole mindset — why not make it count?
