A thread on why you should try setting your phone to grayscale (and what it is)
A trait I share with the great @tferriss is self-experimentation
I'm always looking to try new things, then share my results with you
My current experiment: Grayscale

First off, what is grayscale?
Setting your phone to grayscale makes the display black, white, and gray - no color
It's listed under accessibility options (at least in iOS)

"Why would I want to do that?"
Because it'll reduce the time you spend on your phone
How?

Apps are designed with bright colors to make you use them longer
You wind up playing whack-a-mole with those red notifications all day long
It's also overly stimulating - the colors are like rewards
(triggering dopamine, something @devinmcdermot knows all about)

Cut out the colors Cut out the stimulating "rewards"
Cut down on screen timeObviously, this isn't a surefire way to COMPLETELY break your phone addiction
But it will help

I've had grayscale on for 97% of the time since Monday
I've definitely used my phone less
I'm going to keep it on and only turn it off when I need to
I recommend you try it out yourself!
