This position paper discusses the negative effects of excessive smartphone usage on mental health and well-being. Despite efforts to limit smartphone usage, users become desensitized to reminders and limitations. The paper proposes the use of Push Pull Factors to contextualize intervention strategies promoting digital well-being. Further, alternative metrics to measure the effectiveness of intervention strategies will be discussed.
