🤔 What's Best for Me: Sessions or Conditions?

You have a problem with your phone, but you don't really know where to start. To help you see things more clearly, take the test! Just 5 minutes can help you save more than 2 hours per day.

(It's free, and I promise you won't leave with nothing!)

"Find screen time rules that work for you."

Once you have your results, you can add your rule in the Jomo app. Try to stick to it for at least three days if you want to see results. It's like a diet; you can't lose ten kilos by eating salad once. To see your results, go to the Profile section. There, you'll find several graphs to help you visualize your progress.

⏳ How to Spend Less Time on Screens?

It may sound absurd, but yes, we don't know how to be bored anymore, and that's a BIG problem. It's a problem because by training your brain to distract itself at every moment of downtime or inactivity, you're teaching it not to tolerate boredom. It needs to learn to resist temptation. By becoming more resistant to temptation in general, your brain will be much better at concentrating when you're working (we're not saying this, Cal Newport is).

"Find your happiness outside."

But that's not all: by training your brain to seek satisfaction in anything and everything, it ends up becoming greedier and greedier, wanting more and more. It craves its dopamine shot! As a result, the little things no longer interest it; they're just too bland. Shorts, Reels, and TikTok are more tempting because they provide a dopamine hit (and without any effort). You have to teach your brain to be bored so that it can better appreciate life's "normal" activities.

The best way to do this is to gradually cut down, and above all, find activities to do OUTSIDE THE SCREEN. The key to success? Make your phone less interesting than your real life!

⚡️ How Do I Get Motivated to Do Things I Don't Want To?

If you don't keep most of your commitments and end up lacking motivation, you're not being kind enough to yourself. You deserve to congratulate yourself and recognize your achievements when you accomplish something. No, it's not silly. Receiving acknowledgment has been proven to increase motivation. So be proud of yourself and reward yourself.

"Block and get rewarded."

Did you know that you can do this very simply with Jomo? By adding a "Habit" condition, you can block apps and associate tasks with them. Basically, they'll be blocked until you've completed what's on the list! By turning these apps into real treats, you'll find much more motivation than if you simply block them, as if you were deprived of them (punished).

The most important thing to remember is that, in order to make changes, you have to be willing to do so. You can try every app, buy every product on the planet, take dietary supplements, or other "miracle" remedies, but it won't make a difference. Change happens when we're ready for it. Give yourself time to get there, and don't be too hard on yourself. Never forget that this battle against our phones is totally unequal: your discipline vs. billionaire companies who hire the best engineers in the world to keep you on their services.
