1. Become Aware Without Shame
Track your screen time, but don’t judge yourself. Notice when and why you reach for your phone. Is it boredom? Loneliness? Anxiety? Awareness is the first step—and it opens the door to real change.

2. Set Boundaries That Support You
Create screen-free zones in your day—mornings, meals, or bedtime. Use tools like “Do Not Disturb” or app timers to gently reduce use. Boundaries aren’t about punishment—they’re about protecting your peace.

3. Replace the Habit with Real-Life Anchors
Don’t just remove the phone—add something meaningful. Go for a walk. Pick up a book. Journal. Call a friend. Let these small habits fill the space with presence instead of passive consumption.

4. Take a Weekly Digital Reset
Choose one block of time weekly—an afternoon or even a few hours—to unplug completely. Let your mind breathe. You'll be surprised how calming and clarifying it feels to just be again.

5. Remember Your Why
Why do you want to use your phone less? To feel lighter? Be more present with loved ones? Sleep better? Write it down. Let that deeper reason guide you, especially on the hard days.
