Use anything else, sunlight, an iPad or just a basic digital clock! Choose to start your day tech-free for a peaceful mind and making sure your day begins in a positive way. 

2. Turn off notifications

This way the temptation is gone or you can reduce them too. Instagram has a great feature where it pauses your notifications for a chosen amount of hours. I choose 8 because that’s my full day at work and I am more productive when I don’t have the temptation.

3. Reduce screen time

There’s are so many apps and iPhone even have a built-in feature that manages your screen time and tells you which apps you’ve used and for how long.

Remember that you are in control of your phone and your phone is not in control of you.  We always have the choice to ignore screen time notifications, so set those boundaries and remind yourself this is only going to benefit you  

5. Surround yourself with positivity

If you’re going to spend time on your phone make sure it positive!. Doing a detox on your social media and making sure you don’t follow accounts that don’t make you feel good or inspired, is the best way to be in control of how it affects you.
