I have found online there are apps that makes your phone dumb

Sounds like a very good idea

Maybe just have a time after work for laptop and no phone with emails apps or internet

Stopping social media - I don’t class forums the same - has been like cutting a rotten cancer from my brain

It has helped a lot so I wonder whether this next step will be beneficial
