Cell phone addiction is becoming more common, but there are practical ways to regain control. In this article you will discover 10 effective strategies to reduce screen time without having to give up technology.
1. ⏰ Set usage time limits
One of the most effective ways to control addiction is to define a daily hour limit. Both Android and iOS offer tools such as “DigitalWellness” or “Time on Screen” that allow you to monitor and restrict the use of applications.

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.
