If you spend a lot of time on social networks and other cheap-dopamine, "funny" things on your phone, try grayscale.
There is grayscale on iPhone and Bedtime on Android, perfectly paired with Do Not Disturb/Focus modes.
Personally, I wasn't using Bedtime because of two things:
1. I have a lot of work (job, self-study, writing here, etc.), and I enjoy doing it.
2. Since Nothing OS 2, there is a gray icons mode out of the box and a wallpaper "AI" generator, which makes it easy to generate stylish abstract black and white pictures. So I used it because it just feels nice, especially since I was already aiming for really short screen time.
If grayscale/Bedtime is too tough for you, you may start with scheduling it only for a few hours of focused work, or event just start with a boring wallpaper and monochrome icons.
And remember, there is no "too small time window" for doing or learning something.
I will try it out and let you know if it helps me use this brick even less, because there is still room for improvement.

There is no greater pleasure than manually deleting something from the production database to mitigate an incident. 😎
