If your screen time is creeping up…

If your phone feels impossible to put down…

If the real world is starting to look a bit dull by comparison…

This week I’m testing a free, surprisingly simple method that claims to reduce doomscrolling fast.

No apps.

No discipline hacks.

No expensive “digital detox” retreats.

Just one setting change.

In this episode we discuss:

• How color and contrast hijack your dopamine system
• Why overstimulation can make the real world feel flat
• The “gray scale” method and how to set it up
• And why I realised I needed to fix this — urgently

I’m committing to a full week of gray scale to see if it genuinely reduces screen time.

If you try it too, let me know what happens.

The Instructions

To enable grayscale on an iPhone, navigate to Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size > Color Filters, then toggle "Color Filters" on and select "Grayscale"

To turn on grayscale on Android, go to Settings > Digital Wellbeing & parental controls > Bedtime mode and enable "Grayscale"

I’m back from the front lines.

Four whole days.

Zero processed food.

Planned, chopped, cooked, washed up.

Repeated.

Never again.

In this episode we discuss:

• The emotional toll of planning three meals a day like a Victorian housewife
• Whether chopping board dinners are secretly genius
• Why cheeseboard dinner is an elite parenting hack
• The M&S “non-UPF” range (sausages, buns, ketchup — full review)
• Migraines, morale, and missing Biscoff
• Being dropped by my first big brand deal and spiralling publicly
• Whether I should sell my soul for a podcast editor
• And if early death from crisps is simply a trade-off I’m willing to make

The experiment verdict?

Did I feel superhuman?

No.

Did I feel morally superior?

Briefly.

Did I miss ready meals with my entire being?

Yes.

Cheeseboard dinner.

Elevated picky bits.

Zero guilt.

Highly recommend.

Everything else.

If you’ve cracked the code on eating well without turning it into a full-time job, tell me.

Last week I tried going ultra-processed-food-free.

I lasted one day.

Then I got violently ill.

Was it the chicken?

Was it soft play?

Was it karma for mocking chopping-board influencers?

Unclear.

This week is Take 2.

Because the real question isn’t “Is processed food bad?”

It’s:

How on earth are we supposed to avoid it if we can’t cook and don’t have a private chef?

• My catastrophic attempt at roasting a chicken
• Why I owe chopping-board people an apology
• Cottage cheese and berries (I’m still not convinced)
• The alarming bacteria situation on cutting boards
• The new M&S “UPF-free” range
• Why modern health advice quietly assumes unlimited time
• Whether there’s a realistic middle ground between crisps and grinding your own flour

I’m trialling:

• The single-ingredient chopping board approach
• The M&S UPF-free range
• And whatever I can manage without poisoning myself again

I’ll report back properly in Friday’s Field Report.

If you have:

• Healthy ready meal recommendations
• Low-effort meal hacks
• Or thoughts on whether I’ve lost the plot

Tell me.

I read them. I respond. I occasionally take your advice.
