Choose between stopping and reducing
If you choose to stop, be clear about the behavior you mean. If you choose to cut back, define a reduction you can recognize. Avoid rules that are so complicated you cannot tell what they mean.

Identify two likely difficult situations
Consider when you usually watch longer than intended. For each situation, write an action you can take in under two minutes. Example: if I am awake with my phone past midnight, I will plug it in across the room.

Add the right level of friction
You may want website boundaries, a different phone routine or a decision to leave one app off your device. Smart Boundaries can support domain-level adult-site filtering, but its limitations matter.
