How to Break a Phone Addiction

The article says: "The best way to counteract mindless scrolling is with mindful scrolling." Another approach could perhaps be to remove the option for scrolling. Promotion: that is done here: https://github.com/HiveMinds/Productivity-phone

Disclaimer I am involved in that project. It sets up a productivity lock on the phone, which removes some digital temptations. Hence, it can be used to alleviate some of the required discipline (e.g. limit your scrolling) proposed in the article. Thought it may be of interest for people looking into this article.

I'm an Android user. I break my phone addiction by using an iPhone. Seriously, it works! I find it very inconvenient to use an iPhone to the extent that I use it less often and eventually get out of the addiction.

You should be able to set screen time for yourself without possibility to disable immediately, like the noprocast/delay settings in HN.

"Indistractable" by Eyal Nir is a good book if you want to dive into this topic.
