How can I spend less time on my phone?

I’ve got a week off work this week and I want to not end up losing hours staring at Facebook/Instagram/googling random shit/mumsnet Blush. My boyfriend and I whatsapp each other a lot so I tend to reply to him then end up getting distracted and an hour later I’m still stuck there!
I’m putting my phone down now and will only come back to check this thread Hmm

Tell me your tips please!

I’m quite bad too and am making an effort to cut down.

Delete all your apps that are too tempting and mute everything except calls. Have a set time to check your messages. If it’s urgent, they’ll call.

Plan things to do and do them.
Are there any places you’d like to go to in your week off?
Any chores you’d like to get done?
Any books you’d like to read or tv you’d like to watch?

Prioritise those thing.

Have a set time and make yourself stick to it. Perhaps of an evening 6-7 or early morning 7-8.

Ask boyfriend to help by not sending unnecessary messages although you don’t want to offend him.
