Phone jail

Admittedly this is a bit severe, but the most effective way to stop myself from scrolling started with getting this phone lock box….you put your phone in there and set the timer…. there’s no way to get your phone out until the timer sounds!

Kitchen Safe

I have this thing called a Kitchen Safe. Basically you can lock anything inside it for a set amount of time. So I’ll lock my phone in there for a few hours and I notice a big productivity boost. I think it’s more effective than just putting your phone in another room because in your mind you know that it’s literally impossible to access your phone until the timer is up (unless you break the Kitchen Safe with a hammer). It’s like making and enforcing a contract with yourself to make a certain block of time phone-free.

One sec

this app has singlehandedly helped me get off my phone bc it forces you to take a deep breath before you go on whatever app you wanna restrict and then asks if you really wanna do that… (I don’t)

making the most absurd analogies in order to remember something

i do a lot of theatre and my choreographer always labels the moves as something like “take a shit!“ or “fart and smear it around!” she’s the best and we all remember the choreo. the more absurd it is the more likely you are to remember it so have some fun

In person shopping

the department store music playing overhead - extra points if its jazz, warm interactions with other shoppers, befriending the cashiers, finding those treasures you never would have found online, going out for coffee after your shop, feeling so pleased you can support these local businesses because they make your day that much better
