Tech expert Dino Ambrosi shares the one message that actually convinces teens to reconsider their screentime.

"How you spend this time will determine the quality of your life," he says.

The average 18-year-old in the U.S. is on pace to spend 93% of their remaining free time looking at a screen.

Ambrosi says to keep all of your social apps and logins on one device.

If you do have an alarm clock, set up an automation so that as soon as you turn off the alarm, it opens up an app like Flora or Forest to incentivize you to be off your phone for the first hour of the day .
