"At the start of 2024, I edited Reclaim Your Brain, a Guardian newsletter designed to help anyone unhappy with their screen-time use. It provides a five-week course that readers can sign up for at any time, and comes with tested tasks from our expert Catherine Price, the award-winning author of 'How to Break Up With Your Phone.' Since then, it has become the Guardian's fastest-growing newsletter and cut subscribers' screen times by an average of 40%."
"I am more present with the people in my life, wrote Melissa Griffin, 53, who managed to get her screen time down from eight hours a day to two. I am making choices instead of blaming the phone for my habits. I can now study—that was my goal—I'm back!"
"For some, the newsletter reshaped their approach to their phones, and helped them make major life changes. I think the course changed my fundamental attitude to my phone, said Victoria, a subscriber based in Scotland. So I find it easier to put it to one side and no longer experience that sense that I am compelled' to open it up."
