“one sec” helps you to lower your screen-time effectively using Shortcut Automations. Small breathing exercises force you to reflect on your habits while they occur.
Bringing the purpose of your phone usage into your consciousness every time you pick up your phone and open an app eliminates mindless reflexes. This can already cut down screen-time significantly.
On top of that, long-term effects kick in when you get annoyed and upset about “one sec”. One sec is supposed to be annoying. By adding additional friction to opening certain apps, your brain rebalances those dopamine-on-demand effects that Instagram or Twitter usually provide.
After some time, you will notice that your urge to open those apps declines and really helps you to think less about those apps…which results in lower screen-time usage in general.
