how to stop scrolling every 2 minutes

Okay, Gen Z assemble! 😫 Seriously, my brain is fried. I'm doomscrolling hardcore and my screen time stats are actually giving me anxiety. I literally can't go 2 minutes without picking up my phone. It's affecting my focus, my sleep, everything. How do you guys actually stop? Any tips? Send help! #DigitalDetox #ScreenAddiction #HelpMe

Fr fr, this is so real. My screen time is OFF THE CHARTS. One thing that kinda helps is putting my phone on greyscale mode. Makes everything look boring so it's less tempting. Also, deleting Instagram/TikTok for a few hours. #GreyscaleHack #DigitalWellbeing

No cap, this is brutal. I literally set app timers for EVERYTHING. When it runs out, that's it. It's annoying but it forces me to actually DO other things. Also, notifications OFF. Completely. Game changer. 😤
