• 3:19
  Speaker 3: many times you picked it up, where you spent your time.

  Speaker 3: And then you create your detox plan, starting with one
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: specific behavior you want to change. Replace old habits with
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: new ones. Something to do instead of scrolling, Create a
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: coping plan to deal with withdrawals and boredom. Have fun
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: activities that you will turn to when you feel you
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: need to scroll, and leave your phone in a different room.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: Create some physical distance.
