I'm addicted to my phone
Blocking apps didn't fix it. This did.
I believe that by 2035, the number one reason people will go to rehab will be social media.
We are all walking around pretending we are “kind of” addicted, when in reality this phone has become an extension of us.
Earlier this year I deleted Instagram for 6 months. It was incredible. I felt clearer, more present, more human. Then I re-downloaded it and went straight back to scrolling like an addict.
That is when it really clicked for me. The way to break this habit is not total blocking. It is awareness.
Anytime I understand WHY I am doing something, it becomes so much easier to control.
That is exactly why Mindless exists, and why it is so different from basic screen time and app blocking tools.
Yes, you can easily block any app. But Mindless also asks you to state your intention every time you open a distracting app, and that tiny pause is powerful.
Over time, Mindless starts to show you patterns in your behavior and helps you change your relationship with these tools for good, not just for a week.
Right now, Mindless is 50 percent off the annual plan. It works out to only $5 per month.
If you want to finish 2025 strong and stop carrying your worst habit into 2026
And yes, android is coming soon :)
