With smart phones<\/a><\/strong> having access to download apps<\/strong> for just about everything<\/strong><\/a>, it’s no wonder that most of us are spending more hours looking at a screen<\/strong> than we would like to admit<\/strong>. Sure, many of us have jobs that require working on a computer, <\/strong>but what about the rest of the day? <\/strong>The time<\/strong> can add up, and studies<\/strong><\/a> show that excessive screen time <\/strong>is bad both for our physical and mental health. <\/strong>So how can we reduce it <\/strong>without locking up our phones entirely?<\/strong> This one simple solution.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Declutter Your Phone’s Home Screen<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

How can removing apps<\/strong> from the phone screen<\/strong> make you spend less time <\/strong>on the phone? The theory is that by not seeing apps<\/strong> that we notoriously use to waste time<\/strong> (like Instagram<\/strong>, Twitter, games…) we will be less likely to open them<\/strong>. This theory is similar to what commonly happens in supermarkets<\/strong>. You go in with the intention of buying one thing, <\/strong>and come out with all the special items on display.<\/strong> But the cookies were calling my name!<\/em> Same goes for those apps<\/strong>. You might go in your phone simply to respond to one message<\/strong>, and end up 20 minutes later<\/strong> scrolling<\/strong> deep in your Instagram feed. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Decide Your Own Strategy<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

What apps<\/strong> are kept on the home screen<\/strong> are your call<\/strong>. For most people, the messages, email, calendar,<\/strong> and settings all serve very specific purposes <\/strong>that typically we don’t get lost in<\/strong>. Therefore, these are most likely “safe apps”<\/strong> to leave on the home screen. <\/strong>The other apps<\/strong> however, are better off on other pages<\/strong> so they are less accessible. <\/strong>Remember, out of sight, out of mind!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Screen Solution Success Rate<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"woman<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Undoubtedly, having to swipe one or two screens <\/strong>is not that huge of a time obstacle<\/strong> to prevent you from spending time<\/strong> on your screen<\/strong>. However, if you don’t have these apps displayed<\/strong> first<\/strong> thing when you unlock your phone,<\/strong> you are less likely to be thinking about them.<\/strong> It’s ultimately a test of your own self restraint,<\/strong> and if reducing your screen time <\/strong>is a true personal goal<\/strong>. Just think about all the time<\/strong> you will have for other activities in your life! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
