tl;dr:
Motorola partnered with a "renowned expert in Mind-Brain Behavior and the Science of Happiness at Harvard University and Psychologist at Massachusetts General Hospital Department of Psychiatry" to conduct a month-long survey on people's smartphone habits.
Lo and behold, (a lot of) people are addicted to their smartphones. The company then goes on to promote Moto Display and Mods, and the app SPACE, which they've apparently partnered with.
Hey man,funny thing I've already been using an app called Space and I absolutely agree with what you said.I started using it in April and was shocked to see the number of times I unlock my phone and the hours I wasted without even being aware of it.I set it to 90 mins for the first day and crossed it by the early hours of evening itself.I've been trying to keep track and have improved a bit since haha.
Also check out SPACE app which lets you decide ideal phone usage time for entire day and number of times you're allowed to unlock your phone. It has a simple easy to use interface which lets you track how much time you spend on your phone. Link for the same https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mrigapps.andriod.breakfree.deux
Heilà!Purtroppo ho letto questa discussione solo ora, ma anche se sono passati tre giorni ti/vi volevo dare un consiglio.
Ho finalmente, dopo nove mesi da quando decisi di debellare la mia dipendenza da smartphone, dei consigli da potervi dare.
La prima cosa da fare è fissare una data. Non fra cento anni, ma da lunedì, per poter contare bene le settimane. Ah, da una cera ora la mattina ad una la sera, poi spegnetelo.
- Svegliarsi con una sveglia, fare tutte le cose del mattino, e poi, una volta averle finite, se avete tempo, curate tutte le notifiche, ripondete a tutti i messaggi che dovete risponde e deve finire li, se dovete guardare una foto dove vi hanno taggato su facebook, mettete like a cosa volete, rispondete e continuate ad essere socievoli, ma non inciampate nelle timeline dei social.
- Imponetevi del tempo massimo per poterci stare. (Io personalmente ho usato space, che ti consente di monitorare il tempo di uso, dando anche delle ricompense, che mi ha aiutato talmente tanto da aver acquistare la versione PRO: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mrigapps.andriod.breakfree.deux
- E per ultimo fate una cosa sacrosanta: LEGGETE, GUARDATE FILM, FATE UNA TELEFONATA INVECE DI MANDARE MESSAGGINI, ANDATE A FARE UNO SPORT, FISSATE CON QUALCUNO LA SERA PER ANDARE A BERE UNA BIRRA, MA NON STATE DA SOLI SU QUEL TELEFONO, A CAZZEGGIARE E FINIRE AD ESSERE FRUSTRATI. E per cosa, anche se ne ho riassunte tante, intendevo il godersi la vita ed il mondo reale, senza trascurare quello digitale.
Veramente figlioli, godetevela sta cazzo di vita, che non siamo eterni.

Hey there! I actually had to deal with this last time I was in the hospital (mental institute). They were talking about how this was a growing problem. It's not just you; it's a HUGE issue right now overall.
I wanted to comment to let you know there are apps and things that are designed to help cut down on consumption. You can set yourself limits that will automatically lock you out, and monitors that help you be more aware of what you're doing.
When I was first trying to kick being on my phone too much, I used this app called SPACE. There were quite a few, but I think this one was the most helpful for me. It showed me how often I unlocked my phone, what apps I was using most, offered different paths based on the way I used my phone most. I don't know if it would work for everyone, but I found it useful.
You can Google some good resources of other options if that one doesn't work for you!

I've never actually tried this app, but I see in one of the screenshots that there's a 'session interrupt' feature that I guess alerts you if you've been browsing too long.
App that I see on the play store that can track app usage.
