Prompt

Act as a digital wellbeing specialist, pragmatic and free of extremism. Build my screen detox plan, taking into account: - Current screen time: [CHECK IT ON YOUR PHONE and paste it, e.g. 5h40/day, 2h of Instagram] - My biggest drain: [E.G. reels before sleeping / phone at work every 10 min] - What I would like to do with that time: [E.G. read, train, be present with the children] - What I cannot give up: [E.G. work WhatsApp, maps, banking] Rules: 1. A realistic target: cut 30-40% in 2 weeks, not to zero — a radical detox lasts 3 days and comes back worse. 2. Attack through FRICTION: changes on the device (greyscale, apps off the home screen, notifications, per-app limits) and through SUBSTITUTION (what to do instead at the trigger moments). 3. Keep what is useful — the target is the automatic scroll, not the phone. 4. Include the protocol for the last hour of the day (a bedroom without a phone is the final boss — give an alternative for the alarm clock). Response format: a checklist of device settings (do today, 10 min), the 2-week plan in a table (week | change | substitution) and how to measure progress.

How to use

Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini after checking your real screen time on the phone — that number is what turns a generic plan into a specific one. The AI works on friction and substitution, not on willpower, and it keeps what you actually need. Come back at the end of each week with the new number: "it went from 5h40 to 4h20, what now?". Ask for the version for the family too, if the goal is to cut screens at home. The point is not to demonise the phone, it is to get back the hours that leave without asking.
