Screenshot your daily average
01Screenshot your daily average

iPhone: Settings → Screen Time → See All Activity → Last 7 Days. Android: Digital Wellbeing dashboard. Screenshot total daily average.

Circle top 3 apps. That is where half your cut comes from — usually social and video.

Set a realistic target
02Set a realistic target

Half is the goal, not zero. If average is 4 hours, target 2 hours by day 7. If 8 hours, target 4 — still a win.

Write target on lock screen note for week one.

Pro tip. Share target with one friend for accountability optional.
