I started a new experiment with my new “one sec” Shortcuts Automation app: it enforces to take a deep breath before opening social media. After two weeks of use, my screen time is down by more than 40%:
But how does it work?

I built this app for myself in the first lockdown of 2020, because I spent way too much time on Instagram and online news.
After using the prototype for two weeks, I noticed my screen time was down 44%…and decided to publish it on the AppStore!

J’ai créé cette application en 2020 pendant le confinement pour réduire mon usage d’Instagram et des sites d’actualités. Grâce à elle, j’ai diminuer mon temps d’écran de 44% !
Du coup, je l'ai publiée sur l'AppStore !

2020年の最初のロックダウンで、Instagramやオンラインニュースに時間を費やしすぎてしまったことから、個人的に使用する目的でこのアプリを作りました。

I plugged my phone into my MacBook to charge overnight.
But my MacBooks battery died at some point.
So then my phone decided to put all its juice back into the MacBook.
And was dead in the morning.
MacBook is at 17% now.
Not really what I intended 😅

我在2020年第一次疫情封锁期间为自己构建了这个应用程序，因为我花太多时间在抖音和线上新闻。
使用原型两周后，我发现我的屏幕时间减少了44％...所以决定在AppStore上发布！
但是为什么one sec如此有效呢？

The immediate effects are that you‘ll become aware of your unconscious social media habits: opening Instagram while waiting for the bus, just because you’re bored. This is often not an aware decision. And taking a deep breath helps you to reflect on yourself in that moment.

When opening social media apps, the “one sec” Shortcuts Automation is triggered, and guides you to take a deep breath instead of showing the app you intended to open. Afterwards you can decide with a clear mind if you really want to proceed to the app.

Im Lockdown 2020 war ich viel zu viel am Handy, also habe ich one sec programmiert: es zwingt mich durchzuatmen jedes mal wenn ich Social Media öffne.
Nach zwei Wochen war meine Bildschirmzeit um 44% gesunken.

Aber wieso ist one sec so effektiv?

The setup works through Apple’s Shortcuts app, which comes pre-installed on your iPhone. Go to the Automations tab, and select an “Open App” Automation, add the “one sec” shortcut, and disable “ask before running”.
That’s it. Here’s the app:

Long term, “one sec” increases the effort of opening a particular app. This makes it less likely that you open an app just like that. If it ain’t worth one deep breath, you won’t need to open that app anyway.

Even after 2 weeks of using the app every day I find myself in situations where I unintentionally open Twitter, and then a deep breath is just what I needed: to realize that I didn’t want to open Twitter at all.

True! However, social media has its benefits that I still encounter every now and then. My goal is to establish a healthy relationship with these apps – and delaying access has been the best working approach for me so far :)

El efecto inmediato es que serás consciente de tus hábitos involuntarios en las redes sociales: abrir Instagram mientras esperas el autobús, sólo porque estás aburrido.
A menudo no es una decisión consciente. Y respirar hondo te ayuda a reflexionar en ese momento.

I strongly hope that we are at a tipping point with advertising-backed business-models in internet platforms (e.g., Instagram, TikTok).
