small shifts I've made to get off my phone more

now, I know we all most like struggle with a phone addiction, and I want to get off my phone more, and here's some small shifts I've been making to get off my phone more, cause big shifts feel very sudden for me and I don't like that

1. I started reading a book in a genre I liked

 now this may seem dumb, but, if you pick up a book you enjoy, it could get you off your phone more because it makes you wonder what happens next in that book, so it makes you step aside

2. I force myself to stay off my phone for one whole day

and for that whole day, I try avoiding anything that has excessive ads, like streaming services, social media, and instead, I try watching my DVDs, reading, listening to music, forcing myself to feel bored, and if I want social media, I scroll through depop or Tumblr or maybe even Friend Rewind

3. started to shift out short form content for long form or medium form content

this ones kinda a little self explanatory but, it kinda helps when you force yourself to sit through a 4 minute video instead of a 20 second video
