How To Stop Scrolling On Your Phone In Bed In The Mornings

Published: at 07:30 AM

I have a problem of staying in bed for too long, mindlessly scrolling on my phone.

In James Clear’s Atomic Habits, he says in order to break a bad habit, you need to put as much friction between you and the bad habit as possible.

Meaning just make your habit really hard to do.

There’s a device called a kitchen safe.

It’s a safe with a timer originally made to help smokers quit smoking and to lock up your sweets.

I put my phone in it before I go to bed, and set it to unlock 12 hours later.

Now I wake up and I have nothing to do except go to my computer.

Problem solved, for now.
