The biggest single thing I found for reducing screen time is to set the screen to grayscale. It just makes everything so less engaging

Did not even realize that was an option!
On my iPhone SE 3:

- Accessibility -> Display & Text Size -> Colour Filters -> Greyscale switches it on. It also sets the default colour filter which is helpful because ...

- Accessibility -> Accessibility Shortcut -> Colour Filters means you can then triple-press the Home button (on an SE) to toggle that setting at any time

As various studies have suggested in the past, I do find I use it less in greyscale.
