One Tuesday morning, I noticed my screen-time problem. I stayed up past midnight scrolling through news and social feeds. I woke up drained and foggy the next day. I set app timers to warn me ...

I tried this screen time-lowering hack for 2 weeks to help decrease the time I spent on my phone. It worked, but with a few frustrations.

The Touch Grass app will block your most distracting apps until you (literally) touch grass. I'm already a fan.

Steppin is a new app by the cofounder of travel search engine, Kayak. It combines physical and wellness goals to limit screen time usage.
