In addition to setting a daily limit, it's helpful to review your progress weekly. Analyze which apps are most time-consuming and decide if you really need them. Setting specific times to review messages or social networks helps create healthier habits.

Use reminders and alarms to mark the end of your allowed time. You can also reward yourself when you manage to meet limits, reinforcing positive habits. The key is to be constant and patient with yourself; Gradual changes generate longer-lasting results than extreme attempts at abstinence.

💡 Practical advice

If you spend 6 hours on your cell phone today, try reducing it to 5 for a week and then to 4. Gradual changes are more sustainable and less frustrating.
