* Designated times to reply to messages each day
* Set time limits for your apps
* If you have problematic times of the day set reminders or streaks to keep you honest
* Remind yourself why this is worth doing
  * Take back control
  * Be happier
  * Be present
  * Connect with the ones you love
  * Realise that none of it really matters
* You don't have to demonize it, I wrote this on my phone
* Take the good and leave the bad
