Hi luna! 💗 Is there any tips you can give me to decrease my phone use/ screen time? I feel like I have been using my phone way too much and it sometimes can interfere with my sleeping schedule. I have also been feeling unmotivated and unproductive because of this issue. 😔
Hi 💗 It’s really great that you’re noticing how your phone use is making you feel – that kind of self-awareness is honestly a big first step.
Lots of people struggle with this, especially when school routines change or life feels overwhelming. You're not alone!
Here are a few ideas that might help you reduce screen time and feel a bit more in control:
⏰ Set screen-time windows: try choosing a couple of times in the day to check your phone and stick to them – this can help break the habit of constant scrolling
📱 Use built-in limits: most phones have screen time settings that can help you track and manage your use
🔕 Turn off non-essential notifications: fewer pings and pop-ups can make it easier to stay focused and present
🎨 Find screen-free swaps: whether it’s journaling, walking, drawing or even tidying your space, try to find small offline activities that boost your mood and motivation
🛏️ Keep your phone out of your bedroom: this can really help with sleep and make your evenings feel calmer
It’s all about small changes that make you feel better day by day.
And if this starts to feel too hard to manage on your own, talking to someone you trust (like a parent, carer or school counsellor) can make a real difference 🫶
