Ever feel like your phone owns your brain?
You pick it up to check one thing… and 40 minutes disappear.
That’s not your fault — it’s by design.
Phones are engineered to hijack your attention with colour. Bright reds, flashy blues, dopamine-pumping notifications — they’re visual sugar. Your brain lights up like a slot machine.
But there’s a fix so simple, most people ignore it:
Set your phone to greyscale.
It instantly strips away the addictiveness of apps.
Instagram looks boring. YouTube thumbnails lose their punch. TikTok feels lifeless. And suddenly… you don’t want to scroll anymore.
Here’s Your Kaizen for Today:
Go into your phone’s settings and turn on Greyscale mode for the next 24 hours.
You’ll still be able to function — texts, calls, navigation — but the craving to scroll mindlessly? Gone.
This is digital minimalism in one tap.
Why it works:
✅ Reduces screen time without willpower
✅ Boosts focus for real-life tasks
✅ Makes social media less stimulating
✅ Reconnects you to your surroundings
✅ Calms your nervous system
The truth is:
Most of us are over-caffeinated, under-slept, and mentally hijacked by colour.
This tiny change can give you back hours of clarity.
Don’t underestimate it.
Try it.
Then notice what else becomes easier.
This is Daily Kaizen. One tiny win at a time
