Addicted to your phone? Doing this one simple thing might help you

Olivia Hayes

We’re all pretty much obsessed with our phones.

We basically need them for every part of our lives, whether it’s for directions, calculations, information, capturing moments… and you know, actually calling or texting people.

However, we’re also very addicted to them. We barely leave them out of our hands and God forbid they run out of battery.

If you think you’re addicted to your phone and want to spend less time on it, then apparently turning your screen black and white will help.

All you need to do is go into Settings and head into Accessibility, then choose greyscale. Your phone will then update to monochrome.

Mack McKelvey, the chief executive of the marketing firm SalientMG told the New York Times: “You don’t buy black-and-white cereal boxes, you buy the really stimulating coloured one, and these apps have developed really cool tiles, cool shapes, cool colours, all designed to stimulate you.

“But there’s a vibrant world out there, and my phone shouldn’t be it.”

It might just be the way to go, lads…
