Reporting back two weeks later: my phone usage is down about 25%, but that’s within my usual variance. If there’s an effect, it’s small enough to not be immediately obvious, and would need some more data to get anything resembling a low p-value.
Anecdotally, though, I’m quite liking having my phone on “almost-greyscale” (chromatic reading mode on my OnePlus phone). When I have to turn it off, the colours feel overwhelming. It also feels like it encourages me to focus on the real world, rather than staring at my phone in a public place.
