Option 1:
Make your phone a dumb phone. Take off ALL unnecessary apps and turn off all notifications.
Don’t watch TV/screens hours on end. Either don’t watch TV/screens or limit it to certain time frames.
Option 2:
If required by work or school then transfer all apps to the computer if possible.
Eliminate only apps and notifications from phone that are not necessary for work/school.
Option 3:
Tailor it for what works for you!
BUT challenge yourself!
