Ultimately, I think the entire approach of this article undermines its success. A person has depression, lack of focus and anxiety and this manifests itself through screen addiction.

Screens are ubiquitous, cheap and effective forms of distraction that generally do a good job guiding you from your problems and making those underlying problems worse.

Tackling the underlying issues should be the focus and the “digital” aspect of it should be relegated to being symptomatic and not a root cause. I say this s as someone who wrote “ditching my dumbphone” blog posts a decade ago.
