Your 30-Minute Phone Makeover

Do-it-now summary. Set a timer and run the list once, top to bottom:

• Notifications (10 min) — kill non-essential alerts; keep calls, texts, calendar
• Home screen (5 min) — clear feeds off page one; keep goal-supporting tools
• Privacy and display (10 min) — revoke unneeded permissions; schedule night mode; set Do Not Disturb
• App limits (5 min) — set daily time caps on social media with built-in screen time controls

This is not about making your phone less useful. It is about making it serve your priorities instead of stealing your attention.
