I have been consistently using "bedtime mode" and "focus mode" under "digital wellbeing" on my android phone to help me regain control over the past few years. I am able to let starred contacts text and call through your "Do Not Disturb" setting.
"As the generation that straddles the before and after of smartphone ubiquity, we’re in the unique position of trying to control something we know has power over us without knowing exactly how or the full picture of why we must."
"We check our phones 52 times a day, on average, and tend to get easily sucked in to their time-warping, captivating, infinitely expansive little worlds. It’s not always feasible to turn our phones off or to switch them to airplane mode (and we waste cognitive resources ignoring our phones even when they’re off), so many of us have no choice but to continue on being servants to our smartphones."
"one tip we can implement right away to help maintain a healthy detachment from our devices: Change your phone to grayscale."
Tried this and… nope 😂
I have been wanting to do this for a while now and couldn’t figure out how! Done and done.
