I used to fail every single time I tried to quit. I tried dopamine detoxes (lasted 2–3 days). I tried app blockers (found loopholes). I even sent my screen time to a stranger online for accountability. Nothing worked. For 3 years I struggled. Always back to scrolling, TV shows, movies, YouTube. Always wasting hours. But then, on January 16th, 2025, everything changed. That morning, I woke up and asked myself: “What’s so simple I’d feel stupid if I couldn’t do it?” The rule I made was this: - No short form content - No TV shows - No movies That’s it. Just 3 rules. (the thing was I could still do everything else) And since that day, I’ve been clean for 8 months straight. My screen time dropped. My schoolwork became easier. I go outside more. I feel wayyy happier. I’m actually able to do real deep work. Here’s the crazy part: The most “stimulating” thing I do now is work on my business and listen to audiobooks. And honestly, I love it now… Since then I’ve even started helping others quit too. I’ve had clients save HOURS of valuable hours every single day. And every time I see that I’ve been able to help them I get this nice tingling feeling inside of me because they don’t have to waste 3 years failing like I did. If you’re still struggling, here’s my advice: You don’t need a perfect system. You don’t need app blockers or some extreme detox. Just make your rules so simple that you can’t fail. For most people I would recommend just trying to go 14 days without scrolling that’s it… When’s the last time you went even one day without scrolling?
