Infinite feeds spike dopamine, so ADHD brains slip into scroll trances quickly. Log one week of triggers, noting app, emotion, and time. Next install app timers, mute non-urgent pings, and schedule two free focus blocks daily. Curate accounts and replace impulse swipes with sixty second pause or water break. End each day reviewing mood versus minutes to spot progress. Consistent tweaks reclaim attention, lift sleep quality, and prove social apps can serve you, not siphon energy.

Accessibility tools like Focus mode and speech to text let the phone adapt to you, not vice versa.
