1.) Why are phones are so addictive?
When people interact, research shows that they produce dopamine, a hormone that boosts happiness. It is similar to how people connect socially with phones. The consistent use of phones is out of the urge to tap into that dopamine.
2.) How do you know when you are using your phone too much?
The following are signs you are using your phone excessively;
- Finding yourself answering texts or calls at daytime or night, even if the phone alters your other valuable businesses.
- If you cannot track your time when using the phone.
- Continuously using the phone and spending more time than you can notice.
- Responding to calls, emails, and texts during activities that require full attention, such as driving.
3.) What can you do to cut down on phone use?
Avoid destructing apps
People unconsciously use their phones. They probably move from YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram. They have information likely to keep watching. Therefore, I recommend deleting some apps and only have the ones you intend to gain more from, including new language apps.
Be accountable
If you want to determine your progress, I encourage getting an app that gauges your phone use progress. This way, you can have a specific usage objective and work towards sticking to it.

I am deeply convinced that each patient needs a unique, individual approach. Therefore, I use different psychotherapy methods in my work. During my studies, I discovered an in-depth interest in people as a whole and the belief in the inseparability of mind and body, and the importance of emotional health in physical health. In my spare time, I enjoy reading (a big fan of thrillers) and going on hikes.
