How to reduce phone addiction:
Step 1 Buy three phones

My fifth phone 📱 is just strictly for the flashlight 🔦 app.

Later in the podcast he mentioned a fourth phone which has all of the porn

Ive been using iPhones focus modes and it has dramatically helped me improve focus. Depending on the focus mode different apps will appear on your Home Screen so when I’m at work I only see my work apps, at the gym only my training apps etc. you can also configure it to turn on a specific focus mode based on which app you are using or time of day according to your scheduled events.

Gets stopped by the police “Why have you got three phones?” 😂😂

You don't need three phones, you need self control and you need to define spaces for activities. Yes remove social media, games, email, whatever from your phone. Next define what is and is not allowed within certain spaces, like no phone in the bedoom/bathroom, email and social media (though I suggest just not having social media) on your PC only. Don't give yourself the ability to bend rules you set yourself for a healthier life.

I have more than three phones because I have a technology channel and I review technology. Other than that. I regularly use 4 different phones for different purposes. Only two of them have service ($40 a month total. $30 +$10 VOIP). The rest are just on Wi-Fi. So it’s just like an outfit that I can change into. Each phone serves a purpose. But definitely not a necessity. Last year the first year I’ve owned this many devices. I’ve only had one phone for many, many years. It’s all
In how you work it. I can definitely stand to be more minimalistic when it comes to my technology and reducing my screen time for sure. Definitely working on that. 😌

I had a 2- phone system going until we were burgled a while ago.
It was useful: it was the kitchen phone for music, note taking, and some social in the kitchen on the WiFi.
3rd phone seems excessive, but maybe there is 3rd mode of phone use that's like: e-reader, timer, habit tracking, document storage... more substantial stuff that you use on purpose and want to separate from distractions.

I have only one phone! And you know what, I do my business when it’s needed, I don’t spend time more then hour on social media, and I use it most of the time for self development and family chats. So it’s me who controls my phone, not the other way around! 😊

[mysticartsmelodies]

have been putting my phone at the other end of the house. sleep is so darn peaceful now. Its insane how nice it is and relaxing to wake up. You gotta use a normal alarm if u need to but man, this hack shud be a life standard no cap

Serious phone addiction. I have 1 phone, all my stuff, even work profile on it, and it is possible not to be addicted as soon as you realize that it's boring as hell, and use it if you need something.

Would watching YouTube videos about life improvement be counterintuitive to learning how to stay off it ?

[enzocautela]

I’ve got one phone and I don’t have a sim so I just leave it at home only use it on WiFi shit changed my life. People think I’m crazy but everyone forgot we didn’t all used to walk around with computers in our pockets. I just go out in the world and live. Used to take months to hand deliver a message to someone I can wait till I get home to see it 😂

[FirstLast-gklg]

I have 3 as well. 1 for friends and family, 1 for business, 1 for women and dating apps and social media

[castirondude]

Everyone in our family is using flip phones now. We turn them off at night. We have one active smart phone which we only use as a hotspot since we don't have wired internet in our area.

I caused some controversy on another one of your posts.
I must say you are a remarkable human for this one.
Keep doing great things.
Will continue to follow and occasionally criticize as I see fit.
Only meant to make you better Chris.
Keep up the good work.

The struggles people have today... I find it impossible to believe, that anyone serious would regard a supercomputer the size of a cigarette pack, in their possesion as a struggle, 20 years ago...but feel free to struggle with whatever you like in your life. I will struggle with the things I MUST struggle with.

It feels evil to me, so I decided to only check my cell around lunch time and briefly, and an hour before bed. I took social media and hypnotizing apps off my cell or from the first and second screen on my cell.
