Device displays and the user interfaces shown on those displays are designed to be addictive (take it from someone who has designed them myself). Oftentimes rich, contrasty, irresistible colors are used to leverage our dopamine against us.Apple devices (not sure about other brands) have a “color filters” feature that allow you to change the hue of your display. One of the presets is "Grayscale."If you have trouble staying off your devices, make them less enticing by getting rid of all the flashy shiny colors. Looking at a black and white digital display isn’t as satisfying, and not as easy to look at, so you’ll spend less time looking at it.

Pro Tip: really commit to keeping the colors turned off unless there is something that absolutely needs color

Edit: grammar
