Three simple stories from experience
A Dhaka student taking a break
He used to spend long hours at night, then set a 20-minute alarm, and would get up to walk; now he balances study and app use
For him, the most helpful thing was setting a session limit once, then you don't have to think about it again
He said, now I can stop by myself; that's the real change
A Chittagong professional's self-limit
He took small breaks amid weekly busyness, but at one point he realized time was slipping away without a plan, so he enabled weekly limits
He doesn't keep long sessions after the afternoon; only when work pressure is low does he do so
This change has also improved his sleep at
A Sylhet user's temporary break
A few days of pressure, then he took a few days' break with the self-control tool, not drama, just a calm decision
Returning, he was more aware than before; this break helped him think anew
Moving away isn't always a loss
