Cut back without going cold turkey
- 1
Pick your starting limit
Social media starts at under 3 hours a day. Choose the level that fits your day today.
- 2
Add a phone-free morning
Start with 15 phone-free minutes after you wake up.
- 3
Lower it step by step
When a level feels easy, move down to the next limit, all the way to under 15 minutes.
Why gradual limits work better than quitting
Deleting every app usually lasts a few days. A limit you can actually keep lasts longer, and keeping it a few days in a row makes the next, lower limit feel possible.
That is how the screen time habits in ThrivePal are built. Each one has levels, so you start where you are and lower the limit only when the current one feels easy.
The two screen time habits in ThrivePal
- Limit social media usage: from under 3 hours a day at level 1 down to under 15 minutes.
- Phone-free morning: from 15 phone-free minutes after waking up to 90 minutes.
Pair them with a habit that fills the time, like reading or deep work, a walk or a few minutes of mindfulness.
Make the time you get back count
Cutting screen time is easier when the time has somewhere to go. Many people add one small habit in its place, such as 10 minutes of reading in the morning or a walk after work. You can find ideas on the screen time habits page.
