Change the Saturday morning routine by relocating the phone to another room and beginning the morning in a different physical context, such as going outside for a short walk or sitting in a café with a book. This context shift disrupts the automatic cue–response chain associated with social media use and introduces novelty, allowing more intentional choices about how to spend the morning.

Once the habit is interrupted, reinforce a specific alternative activity so the individual intentionally engages in it instead of returning to the habitual response.

Leave the phone in another room and go outside for a short walk or make coffee in a different location.

Use behavioral activation with values-based goal setting (e.g., choose and schedule a meaningful Saturday activity to compete with scrolling).
