Just turn off notifications for non-essential apps right now. Use the built-in screen time trackers to set daily limits and stick to them. Designate phone-free zones in your house, like the bedroom or dinner table. Replace scrolling with a quick habit like reading a physical book or stretching. Do this consistently for a week and adjust as needed. It's straightforward if you commit.

Start by deciding the daily ration in grams with a kitchen scale. Pour that exact amount into a jar each morning and only program events that empty the jar by bedtime. For a puker, I like, have best luck with 6 to 8 micro meals. Make the first drop very small, the next few moderate, and the final two small again so no single dump is big. If the feeder only does one eighth cup steps, keep each event to one step and turn on slow feed so it trickles. If even that triggers scarf and barf, split the hour into two events fifteen minutes apart. To slow the physical eating, lay a thin silicone trivet or a low profile maze insert in the bowl so the kibble spreads and the cat has to pick. Keep the path from chute to bowl clear. Use uniform small kibble and skip any freeze dried bits in the hopper. Add those after the feed by hand. Clean the chute and impeller weekly and keep the fill under the max line. A rubber mat under the feeder stops bounce scatter and reduces the clatter that can excite a food anxious cat. It gets quieter. That helps.

Idk, this worked for me with minimal effort. I chose Google Photos as the hub and turned on upload on my phone at original quality. On my Mac I installed the Google Drive uploader to pull in the old iCloud Photos library once, then I disabled iCloud so I didn't keep doubling. I left iCloud as a read-only archive for a month to be safe. After the import, I deleted obvious dupes using the built-in cleanup tool and let face and place indexing finish. Day to day, I do almost nothing. I heart favorites when I want to find something later and I have one album per year with monthly sub-albums for events that matter. For admin stuff like receipts or serial numbers, I tag them by typing a consistent word in the caption like receipt or warranty so search nails it. Once a quarter I export originals to an external SSD with folders by year and month. If I forget, no drama, I just do it next quarter.
