This also needs willpower which you need daily to fight it.

Over the last couple years i have seen older people who had good focus completely taken hostage by smartphones making them victims. It's normal for people to watch TV and be on the Phone half the time. I've seen lifelong sport fans who watch sports and are more on the phone than with their eyes on the match.

There is no right life in the wrong one.

I would identify these things and just try new activities the can counter that and de-accelerate.

Things like swimming, hiking, cycling are great. Paddleboarding. Watching sports live or only with friends.

There are no mentally healthy apps to have. You also have to enforce any rules you make and are always already in a fight that you cannot loose. The smartphone is net negative on mental health. I would only make arguments that you can get distracted really easily if you are too focused on something bad. Like today if you become a stalker you really need to be ill because there is so much distraction with the phone that it's hard to see someone healthy become a stalker.

My solution is to do activities where you don't have your smartphone. Something like swimming or riding your bike is great.

Even if this is all true what is missing here is self reflection. What exactly has any so called value in the finance or digital industry? Really not much, Finance has literally no value at all.

So what i read here is bitterness that something without value displaces what you do know that has no value.
