This is a great read, thank you!! I often feel like I am constantly on my phone because of a need (whether real or perceived) to be accessible for work. Reading this reminds me that that’s very much an excuse to justify my screen time, and that I can always delete apps or use other tools to work around that. Thanks!

Another great idea from a reader: setting the screen time app as a widget on your home screen, so that it’s right there whenever you unlock your phone. Genius!
