Reduce screen time: 5 simple tricks

Experts from Canada's McGill University have published a list of the best ways to reduce screen time. The researchers compiled the list after observing people's habits after using different strategies to reduce screen time. Here are five ways you can reduce your screen time. 1. reduce notifications Turn off unimportant notifications, including sounds, banners and vibrations. 2. set time limits Enable screen time tracking and set specific time limits for certain applications. 3. set screen to grayscale Enable the grayscale option on your device. This option makes the screen appear black and white and "less satisfying". 4. reduce the brightness Reduce the brightness of your screen and switch on the blue light filter if it has one. 5. keep your phone away before going to bed Turn your phone to silent and keep it out of reach when you go to bed to avoid distraction.
