== Color ==

Reducing the color on my phone has made my phone feel less addictive. Most configurations I’ve seen remove ''all'' color (greyscale), which I find too extreme. Instead, I’ve opted to remove ''some'' color (desaturation).

=== Set up color reduction ===
# Navigate to '''Settings''' > '''Accessibility''' > '''Display & Text Size'''
# Set '''Increase Contrast''' to "on"
# Set '''Differentiate Without Color''' to "on"
# Tap '''Color Filters'''
## Choose '''Greyscale'''
## Set the '''Intensity''' to taste. I set it to about 75% (this removes 3/4 of the color)
