Stop social media scrolling without deleting every app
Stop social media scrolling by interrupting the reflex before the feed opens, not by relying on willpower alone.
Quick answer
The fastest way to stop social media scrolling is to target the opening reflex rather than trying to win once the feed is already loaded.
Practical workflow
Pick one social app, add a pause before opening it, name the reason for access and exit when there is no clear reason.
Signal to measure
Measure avoided opens, shorter sessions and how often the user keeps the phone locked after the pause.
