The author of this article expresses concern over her self-control problem, stating that she used to think she had a good self control, but now finds it harder to control her phone. Her phone is constantly distracting and she spends time watching other people's lives while her life passes by. She has tried deleting the app but re-downloads it and setting time limits, but always manages to override them. The author suggests starting slow, placing Instagram in a folder on the last screen, turning off notifications and choosing two short check-in windows a day. If you continue to slip, it's not a character flaw but a habit that needs support.
