The Third Step to Self Improvement

This is the "dopamine free" version of the YouTube video called "The #1 habit stealing your time." Turn on the grayscale color filter Delete all of your non-tool apps. This includes youtube, social media, and games. A tool app would be the notes app or the calculator, which are purely tools. Delete all of your social media accounts altogether. Remove all apps from your home screen. Your home screen should be empty, so you must manually search for certain apps without distraction. This requires you to have a purpose whenever using your phone. Remove the suggested apps in the search bar when you swipe down to search. Turn off all notifications on your phone and keep your phone on do not disturb mode indefinitely. Make it so you have to click the power button to turn it on instead of it turning on automatically when you pick it up. Keep the phone in airplane mode and always power it off when not using it. Power off means going through the process of holding down the power button for a few seconds and sliding the shut-off button, do this every time. Keep the phone in the basement or somewhere far away from where you are most of the time. Break the habit of bringing your phone everywhere with you. You can do things on your own. Keep your phone out of your pocket if you need to bring it. Try and get someone else to hold it or put it in a bag. Remember to keep it powered off and on airplane mode. Eventually, get to the point where you only use your phone when you have a purpose. Keep making more changes as you learn more, but I have found from experience that these changes have the most significant impact.
