The lowest hanging fruit for your mental health:

Break your phone addiction.

It has a massive impact, and it's do-able.

shoutout @unplugwithroots if you want to get serious about breaking your phone addiction.

Set better boundaries with your phone.

It will change your life, trust me.

Here's the app I use:

One simple decision is saving me 3+ hours a day.

I stopped doom scrolling.

That doesn't mean I don't use my phone, I just set better boundaries.

Here’s exactly how I do it (#4 is key).

[Momma Bear @thepresentmomma]

Without clear boundaries, you don't stand a chance.

And built-in iOS screen time won't save you:

→ You can bypass limits with one tap
→ You can edit limits at any time

Been using @unplugwithroots now for a few months.

Has changed my life.

Forces me to be much more intentional with my phone.

Apple is not incentivized to help you stay off your phone.

They have too much skin in the game.

The key to setting boundaries — using a third party app.

Here's the screen time app I use:

Apple's screen time limits don't work.

"Ignore for today" → back to scrolling.

It's like they designed it to fail.

Here's what actually works (and how to apply it today):

Step 4: Prevent workarounds

Keep yourself from ignoring your own rules.

✅ Enable "app uninstall protection"
✅ Turn on "Monk Mode" to block impulse edits
✅ Block access to screen time settings

If you have an emergency—there's a limited number of "emergency unblocks".
