Just here to ask if anyone has some extra tips and tricks to help themselves while following a guide or strict restrictions they've placed on themselves, I've cut out social media and omly use my phone for communication purposes or if I need to google something or use maps or my alexa.

Why not use your phone but for something positive? Write in a journal, read books, listen to audiobooks, listen to music... Listening can be done while walking, commuting, exercising. Writing can be done when you have short periods of time while waiting for someone or something.

I do journal and read webtoons, I started listening to Stephanie Soo's Rotten Mango and like listening to music but I will spend hours scrolliing endlessly, mindlessly, numbly without end, I physically struggle to be without my phone, I have to constantly be touching it. I find the worst part is getting my self away from it, physically.
