Phone addiction

I have severe phone addiction and it's ruining everything I've worked for. And I'm tired.

For context, I spend 12 hours or more on my phone, maybe I'm doing something else but I always have something on. And I can't function anymore. I sleep, eat, shower, study, work with something on my phone. And of course I do a half assed job. My mind is cloudy all the time and I feel physically awful. So this is what I'm implementing.

• Timers on apps, especially YouTube.

• Black and white screen.

• No phone when I go to the bathroom, eat, shower.

• Phone is on while I study only on my pomodoro app.

• No distractions setting ALL THE TIME, and I can only deactivate it if I have done all my tasks.

• Moved the apps that I use the most off my main page.

• Putting my phone on my bedside table's drawer at night so I don't scroll before bed.

So, this is day 1. And I'm sharing this because I don't have anybody who I can talk to about this.
