Think about your
own experience
Have you ever:
Grabbed the phone
without deciding to
Started with one intention and
ended up somewhere else entirely
Responded because
it felt irresistible
Stayed on the phone
far longer than planned
Impulse-driven.
THE DE-VICED APPROACH
Building block 1
Shift the focus from spending less time on your phone - to spending less time there by accident
The first priority is to change the goal. Instead of focusing on screen time, you learn to catch the moments when your phone use feels automatic or impulse-driven.
The rest builds from there.
Building block 2
Before changing your phone use - start by noticing what’s driving it
Phone use is like an iceberg. The screen time is visible, above the surface. But it’s the triggers hidden underneath that drive our patterns of behaviour.
When you see your triggers, you can start to do something about them.
Building block 3
There are so many triggers for phone use that using a single tactic, like screen time limits or an app blocker, is rarely enough on its own.
De-Viced guides you step by step to find the right mix of tactics for your particular patterns.
Building block 4
Stop aiming for perfect streaks - learn to bounce back when you slip
Everyone slips. Getting back on track is an essential skill - and like any skill, it comes with practice.
PUT TO THE TEST
The approach works
- and the change lasts
Based on the four building blocks, we built a daily behavior change program and ran a multi-week pilot study.
On average, the improvement was significant and continued three months after the program ended.
Participants were able to take back control of their phone use - in a way that lasted.
What participants noticed
How the daily practice works
About 10 minutes a day,
a simple learning loop
WhatsApp — available globally
SMS — US & Canada
join the research
Instead of spending eight weeks trying to force your screen time down, you spend a few minutes every day building the control that makes healthier phone use possible.
-> You’ll start by noticing what drives your habits.
-> Experiment with different ways to change them.
-> Then focus on what works for you - repeating, refining and consolidating until it feels like second nature.
Optional videos and booster exercises are available whenever you want to really explore a topic. Or keep things light and practical.
