Episode Synopsis

In this episode of the Joyfully Managed Life podcast, Jessica Eastman Stewart introduces an effective technique she's used to reduce her mobile phone usage -- switching to grayscale mode. Grayscale mode makes a phone less appealing and minimizes the urge to scroll through social media or binge-watch series. Jessica explains how to set it up on iPhones and on Android devices using the built-in settings or automation routines. An additional strategy is the use of the Minimalist app that turns the screen to grayscale and includes a timer that limits usage of addictive apps. This episode encourages listeners to break free from unnecessary phone usage through these innovative ideas, promoting a more joyfully managed life.
