Simple guide but honestly thats what I wanted. I dont need 50 rules about phone use. Just a few things to stop the checking and overthinking cycle. Been helpful so far, especially at night.
I thought I was just “bad at putting my phone down” but its more than that. I was constantly waiting for notifications. Started setting actual times to check messages and weirdly I feel less distracted now.
The 5 minute reset is my favorite thing in here. I’ve used it a few times when I’m waiting on a message and start getting that urge to check again. Its short enough that I’ll actually do it.
I mostly got this because I was tired of overthinking messages. Sometimes someone would send a short reply and I’d spend ages wondering if they were annoyed with me. This helped me stop making up stories from basically nothing lol.
Pretty good honestly. The Digital Boundary Plan made me realize I didnt really have any boundaries at all. If my phone buzzed, I checked it. If someone messaged, I replied. Trying to be a little less available now.
The waiting for a reply thing is definitely my problem. I’ll tell myself I dont care and then check my phone 30 seconds later. The guide helped me understand why I do that instead of just telling me to stop.
I liked this because its not telling you to throw your phone away and live in the woods 😂. Just gives you some boundaries around it. I started putting my phone away when I’m working and its helped a lot.
Ok this one called me out lol. I’ve reread texts looking for a different meaning more times than I’d like to admit. The reset exercise is really simple and helped me get out of my head a few times.
The part about not needing to reply straight away was a big one for me. I always feel like if I see a message I have to answer it right then. Trying to break that habit now and its actually kinda nice.
I didnt realize how often I was checking if someone was online until I started paying attention to it 😅. This guide made me stop doing it so much. Still catch myself sometimes but definitely better.
