How do I get away from the cell phone?

I clearly have a cell phone addiction.

During the holidays when I wake up (approx. 8/9 a.m.) my cell phone is ready immediately and I use it continuously until 11/12 a.m. Then I get up drink something eat something sit down on my desk and draw and watch Netflix until my mother makes lunch. After lunch I usually talk to someone on the phone for half an hour. Then I do something on the laptop (play). And then immediately again cell phone. After dinner I go back to bed with my cell phone and play on it / watch Netflix / write to someone until 22/23/0/1/2 o'clock depending on whether I have to get up early tomorrow.

That makes a total of 12-13.5 hours per vacation day.

During my school days I get a good 7/8/9 hours.

What should I do about it. How do I start to get this under control? Any ideas?

I have an iphone are there locks or something?

Please help me. I want to try it myself first, if I can't do it then I'll get help

Throw away the charging cable and wait…

Give your cell phone to your parents before you go to bed and tell them to give it to you at x time.

Don't try to take your phone to the bathroom either

In the settings there's the so-called screen time, which my parents set up for me earlier, so if you really want that, then you can ask your parents, for example, to select a code that only they know and in the settings you can set a limit for apps Or a complete daily limit that your mobile phone can only be used from 9 a.m. To 10 p.m. Or so, or you set app limits so that you can only use some apps, let's say 1-2 hours a day, and then have to do it yourself dividing up was very effective for me at the time, maybe that's an idea.

Well… And at some point you will fall into the toilet and then that's it

You should just "switch off" your cell phone, especially when you go to bed and do something else for it, help with the house, go out, read a book.

otherwise it helps to put away as much as possible.

With my godchild (16) we have installed a lock in the router. It now only has 2 hours of internet access because the grades have become very bad and also addicted to mobile phones.

As with any addiction, you must first really want to.

In most cases, complete withdrawal is easier to handle than reduction.

In plain English: drive to a lonely hut in the mountains for a week and leave your cell phone at home. With children this is actually done in groups. Then only the responsible manager has a cell phone for emergencies.
