If you are looking for a way to reduce the usage you make on your smartphone, then try to make your screen dull and dull, turning it to the gray scale. It is surprisingly effective.
We have all discovered at some point that the use we make on our smartphone is very time consuming. Something like using the TV in the past or using it on the computer. Older people may even remember your mother chasing you not to sit for hours on TV.
The new trap is now smartphones. Easy to transport, especially loud and fast, they can make you not exchange a single conversation with your friends in the cafeteria. And of course when you realize all this, you will probably look for a way to detoxify. Some of you may have heard other users talk about how you can minimize distraction from your smartphone by turning their screen from the default full color mode to a more dull grayscale. Although you hear it is a waste of time, we suggest you try it.
Smartphones are, if nothing else, colorful. Games, social media applications, their very appearance, are all so bright and cheerful. The toys are perfectly designed, with a pleasant and vibrant color. Alerts are changed to a shade of red to catch your eye. The icons themselves, which are arranged on the home screen, are tempting in themselves.
But, miraculously, if you turn the screen to gray, the phone will look so dull. Alerts no longer seem urgent (see screenshot above). There is nothing urgent about any of these alerts. Many time consuming games are virtually impossible to play without color references. When everything is black, white and shades of gray, they get a very useful pulse and you will probably soon find yourself using an app for exactly how long it takes to get the job done, and then letting your phone down.
If you use iPhone, you can turn on the gray scale filter by going to Settings> General> Accessibility> Appearance> Color Filters (Settings> General> Accessibility> Display Accommodations> Color Filters).
If you are using an Android device, the method varies depending on your device (and you may need to enable the Developer feature), but it is usually, as on iPhones, in the Accessibility menu. In the Xiomi we have it is in Developer Options> Colored Space Simulation> Monochrome.
To activate and view the Developer feature on Android go to Settings> About phone> and press the build number or MIUI version for Xiaomi or the other phones 7 times in a row.
Is the shade of gray on your phone forever a functional solution? It may. If you find that it helps to overcome distraction, then stay in the gray. In any case, try to change its appearance for at least a week.
