Absolutely no one and nothing needs an IMMEDIATE response unless itβs an emergency or a work related situation (focus modes exist that allow only certain notifications to go through for this purpose)
Getting to a text or notification in 15 minutes versus 2 hours changes absolutely nothing about the outcome of a situation
You forget 80% of what you scrolled through at the end of the day
Thereβs absolutely no image on Pinterest, no post on Tumblr, no story on Instagram that could be as novel as reading a book youβve never read and the dopamine release from finishing it and soaking it in
it can literally wait. Itβs not the end of the world. Your brain will make it seem that way but itβs not
Phones are built like slot machines (same exact mechanism) so donβt be too hard on yourself
But also consider how much progress youβd make in your goals if you siphoned some of that screen time into whatever goals youβve had forever
you donβt need to live a no phone lifestyle, itβs about portions
it will feel so fulfilling when itβs under moderation
