Q: What do you do to manage your screen/phone use?

By Jonas Søvik 🔹 @ 2026-03-02T20:30 (+3)

I've seen things like "I have to stand up to use my phone", phone-free zones, lots of blocking apps (shoutout to newsfeed eradicator that just deletes your so'me feed!), and giving your unlock to a friend/partner

 

  1. Which things have you tried that didn't work - do you know why?
  2. What actually Does Work? Do you know why?

Tell me about your journey!

 

(I'm building a course on mastering screen use and looking for creative solutions I might have missed and better understand the kind of things that do/don't work for people. Lmk if you want me to share when it gets released later in March :)

Hello Jonas: I'm Jack, It's a tough question and I'm also thinking of the answer. However, I want to say your question is really important for EA. For myself, I quit watching NBA(basketball games) everyday and turn to watch NBA paper magazines recently, I found it significantly improved my concentration and productivity. Maybe you can consider check out a topic in EA forum which is called"Productivity" to give you more ideas.

Thanks! Yeah I like replacing input with analog alternatives
