00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.900
Here are six ways to tame your phone use.

00:00:03.690 --> 00:00:06.300
First, turn off notifications.

00:00:06.320 --> 00:00:08.020
Keep the important ones,

00:00:08.020 --> 00:00:09.880
like alerts from family or your bank .

00:00:10.520 --> 00:00:12.180
Second, go gray.

00:00:12.180 --> 00:00:15.600
Lessen the appeal of apps by muting colors using settings.

00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:18.000
Third, minimize your home screen.

00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:22.280
Keep only apps you need and move the
rest to other screens.

00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:25.920
Fourth type to find apps.

00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:29.420
It allows you time to think if
you really need to open an app.

00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:33.560
Fifth, remove social media.

00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:36.100
Instead, access it by computer.

00:00:36.660 --> 00:00:38.860
And finally, don't charge in your bedroom.

00:00:39.360 --> 00:00:41.600
You'll be less likely to check before bed

00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:43.280
or after waking up.

00:00:43.290 --> 00:00:47.480
