When you're changing your phone behavior drastically, you're building new habits, and that's why it's important to set reminders for yourself.
Feel like your phone is running your life? Johan's got you covered. In this episode of 'SocialMediaBreakup', he dives into the art of setting boundaries to help you cut down on phone and social media use. Ever thought about creating a 'no-tech hour' or moving your phone to another room? Johan explains how these simple offline boundaries can make a world of difference. He also covers online strategies like using 'Do Not Disturb', blocking apps, and Google's Digital Wellbeing features.
But knowing what boundaries to set is just the first step. Johan emphasizes the importance of timing and consistency. When should you start these new habits? How about every day from 9 pm to 10 pm or every Tuesday evening? The key is to be clear and write it down. And don't forget to discuss it with your household to get everyone on board.
