**Help Users Easily Pause Their Phone Usage** The human brain has inertia. Once you start using your phone, it's easy to get caught up and find it hard to stop. For example, you might tell yourself, "I'll just play for five more minutes before going to bed," only to end up playing for an hour. Or when playing a game, you say, "Just one more round," only to find yourself playing the whole morning. This unconscious overuse not only disrupts our daily routines but can also have negative impacts on our physical and mental health, and even exacerbate procrastination. To help users better control their phone usage, we offer a simple yet effective solutionβ€”**set "how many more minutes to play before stopping."** With this method, you can easily pause your phone usage without feeling abruptly interrupted. Because you have a clear expectation of time, you won't feel anxious or irritable. Instead, you can enjoy the remaining time until the program automatically pauses. The benefits of this method include: - **No need for long-term, grand plans**: No complicated plans or long-term commitments are required. Just start now and take immediate action in a few minutes. - **Clear time expectation**: Knowing that you have only a few more minutes of usage makes you cherish this time more, rather than browsing aimlessly. - **Avoiding the discomfort of abrupt interruptions**: The program will automatically pause your phone usage after the set time, rather than forcing you to stop suddenly, making it easier for you to accept psychologically. - **Enhanced self-control**: By using this method, you can gradually build up your self-control, reduce your dependence on your phone, and thus overcome procrastination. Whether before bed, during work breaks, or in any situation where you need to control your phone usage, you can easily manage it by setting "how many more minutes to play before stopping." Let's take control of our time together and enjoy a healthy lifestyle.
