I have dry eyes caused by excessive phone use. Still, I use my phone for 4+ hours. Random googling, Facebook, YouTube. How do I tell myself to stop?

read books on your phone instead. Limit fb/YouTube/any problem sites to 5/10 mins a day. Then when you get the urge to pick up your phone, read a non-fiction book instead, something related to an area in your life you wish to improve. Like maybe you could download a book about addiction and read that, it’s harder to get sucked into a pointless scrolling hole that way
it works for me sometimes :)

You might find Internet and Technology Addicts Anonymous helpful. They hold meetings online.

Very difficult, all designed for your attention! Minimalist phone and stay focused apps are good ones.
