Description

The average person scrolls 2.5 hours a day and picks up their phone around 150 times. In this episode, I explain how I cut down my screen time to intentional use without relying on superhuman discipline.

 

What you’ll learn:
• Why I’ve been LinkedIn-only since 2019 (and no apps on my phone)
• My “Follow 50” rule to curate a useful, clutter-free feed
• How I design my environment to discourage scrolling (standing desk, no social apps, Unhook for YouTube)
• Why I only subscribe to five podcasts at a time and use Downcast instead of Spotify or Apple
• How I use “Send Later” texts to avoid mid-day interruptions
• Why I pay to remove ads (hint: they’re engineered to hijack your time and money)
• The Freedom app for blocking websites and devices
• The ClearSpace app to pause before opening social media
• My personal screen time and most-used apps: Crossrope, Obé, MyFitnessPal, Libby, Waze, Downcast, Voxer
