"How do I stop doomscrolling?"

Doomscrolling isn't a willpower problem—it's a design problem. Apps are literally engineered to keep you scrolling. Fighting that with pure discipline is a losing battle. Environment changes that actually work: - Move social apps off your home screen (even one extra tap helps) - Set app timers (Screen Time on iPhone, Digital Wellbeing on Android) - Charge your phone outside the bedroom - Get a physical alarm clock so your phone isn't the first thing you reach for - Use grayscale mode—sounds silly but colored apps are more addictive The deeper fix: Figure out what you're avoiding. We scroll to escape boredom, anxiety, or difficult feelings. If you address the root cause, the symptom (scrolling) loses power. And be realistic: You probably won't quit entirely. The goal is scrolling with intention, not scrolling on autopilot.
