How do I spend less time on my smartphone or other media?

I've noticed lately that I spend a lot of time on a smartphone, TV, console or Netflix. And that's why I wanted to ask if you have any tips to work around or have personal experiences. Should I completely abandon media in the near future, as compensation?

You do not have to do without completely, nowadays that's just the way you look at the phone or watch TV. You could go outside or start a hobby, for example. To learn an instrument or to go to an association. There are many ways to engage in other things when it's just a walk. I do not know how old you are, but you can also make friends with friends or study for school (if applicable).

Yes and no. First, I would disable the notifications.

Then try best to deal differently and reduce the whole. Go out and meet friends. Just do other things. Gain distance from the whole and you will notice after a few days, how little you depend on everything or it does not have as much importance as you think.

After a while, depending on you, you can also spend more time with it. But such a "diet" will do you great…

I personally set limits and forced myself to go outside. Was formerly a real couch potato. Jogge or make a trip to the countryside-you'll clear your head, I promise you.
