APP HACK: Instagram Timers

You know the feeling. It’s late, you can’t sleep, and you reach for your phone and start the scroll on Instagram. Next thing you know, two hours have gone by.

It’s really easy to lose time while scrolling, but did you know there is a hidden feature in Instagram that allows you to take control over your scroll time?

Instagram has a “Manage Your Time” feature that’s tucked away in settings, but here’s how you can enable it. (Hey parents, this is a GREAT tool for kids too!)

From your Instagram Profile page, click the 3 lines in the top right corner, choose Your Activity > Time Spent. (told you it was hidden!) From here you can set a reminder to take breaks every 10, 20 or 30 minutes, set a daily time limit, and customize all those notifications you get. I use the quiet mode while I sleep to limit distractions.

Try setting a few of these tools up and watch your focus and sleep improve!
