How I cured my Phone addiction

So a few weeks ago I was watching a 3-hour podcast with Joe Roggan, and he mentioned a book about screen addiction called, Irresistible by Adam Alter a professor in business and psychology.

1. Let’s find out if you have a problem as I do
– According to youtube around 80% of you right now are watching me on a smartphone either iPhone or android and then the other 20% on windows, mac, or other devices like PlayStation and so on.
– But the point is, right now I can make a guess, you’re either eating, procrastinating, or actively trying to learn something new ( and sometimes it’s all 3)

Simple exercise:
– iPhone users: go to setting screentime and check how much time you spend on a phone
– Android: setting, battery, and battery usage
– The average person spends 8 hours sleeping, 8 hours on work, 3 hours on survival activities like eating and showering and so, and they have a blank space of around 5 hours ( if your phone use is more than 4-5 hours then you have a problem)

Now let’s make a legal contract: I’ll how mine if you show me yours: here is my phone use and how scary it is
– I spend 48M, jk more like 7-8 hours and so on
– My most productive weeks are when I’m at the gym 5 times a week
– And reading audiobooks also

Tip: but now that we know we have a problem, let’s talk about solutions.

2. Solutions
– You have to ask yourself, why I’m spending so much time on this app
– How does it benefit me or doesn’t benefit me
– And why I do I like it or why don’t I like

Honestly: here something I’m a bit embarrassed to say
– I deleted the Instagram app, and re-download it ones a week for 2-4 hours of DMS
– I deleted the app ( you know), and only use when at my computer or chrome ( I was spending 4-5 hours a day on it)
– And I plan on deleting a lot more apps like Netflix on so on. But here is why

Creating a Good habit and eliminating the bad:
– Its 10x harder to resist using Instagram, than it is just not to have the app
– And what you want to do, is basically create a lifestyle that when you open the fridge there are no unhealthy options because you never bought them
– And if all you have healthy options that is all you are going to eat ( same with are smartphones) – instead of resistants, just eliminate the problem

For example:
– Steve jobs the guy responsible largely for the iPhone and iPad and so on
– Limited his kids from using technology
– Because he knew the negatives that it also brings ( and you might say you’re not a kid like I did, but the numbers don’t lie, 7 hours a day on a phone over 50 years add up to 5,322 day or 14.58 years of your life )

3. Quick Fixes to These problems (that I started using)
– Things you can do to today, to start beating this bad habit

Steps:
– Don’t use your phone: when eating, using the bathroom, before bed, while working, and having a conversation with someone. ( just turn it off and put it away) – this automatically saves you 1-2 hours daily.
– Delete the Bad and Install the Good: The apps you spent the most time and don’t benefit you delete them and install other apps that can help you ( for me Instagram, this app, Netflix ) and I installed audible, fitbod, and Duolingo apps that can help me
– Organize your room or work area ( my phone charges very far from me, my phone is in the drawer on silent while I work)

Pro Tip:
Windows: you can go setting, accounts, family, and other user and set up a kiosk ( where you will only have access to certain apps and that’s it on that user)

Overall: Don’t go cold turkey it usually won’t work
– I still use Netflix but instead of 4 hours a day, one hour night
– I still use that app, but just during breaks
– I still use Instagram but just during the weekend for 2-4 hours.
