think about how you use your devices:
Use screentime
Use screentime

Use screentime to see your daily/weekly use of you phone! You can also turn on Limits to stop use after a certain time or amount of time.
Delete the app

Digital Declutter
Consider these questions to help think about removing parts of your daily routine. Optimizing who you follow or what apps you use and why using these questions:
▹ does it serve something I value?
▹ what is its role?
▹ is it purposeful?
▹ am I mindful of using this?
Decluttering can help simplify your life and reduce reliance on social media.
