Make Your iPhone Uncomfortable to Use

Another simple way to make you want to stop using your iPhone is to make it hard or uncomfortable to use. There are many ways to do this, and sometimes you’ll need to get creative, but here are a couple of suggestions.

First, you can turn your screen black and white. This will remove the flashing colors that might pop up on some apps or games designed to give you that dopamine rush. If you have an iPhone, you can change your display by going to Settings > Accessibility > Display Text & Size > Color Filters. 

From there, turn on Color Filters and select Grayscale. You can also choose other options and even switch the intensity. It doesn’t matter which one you choose; just try to make your iPhone as uncomfortable to use as possible.

On the other hand, if you like using your iPhone at night, be sure to set your brightness all the way up. If you do that, it will be almost impossible to pick up your iPhone and use it at night without feeling like you’re staring directly into the sun.

Last but not least, try using a hairband. Yes, you read that right. Some people recommend putting a hairband right in the middle of your iPhone. This way, not only will your visibility be blocked, but doing things like texting or scrolling down will be annoying and almost impossible. Still, the hairband still gives you enough room to answer work messages or phone calls.
