My phone is the ultimate time suck and I've had enough.
I am pro-technology, but at this point in time, my phone is so totally distracting. I specifically don't have the Facebook app on my phone, but I do have Instagram, which is the same. Also, coming off of the election cycle, I was in a news spiral that I can't seem to get out of.
Together, those two apps are responsible for the majority of my time.
I had resisted eliminating those two apps for a long time, but I think it's time to remove them. I will miss exchanging content with my 13-year-old, but I feel like we'll be able to find other ways to bond as humans.
I encourage you to consider how you are using your phone. If you are bored for even the briefest amount of times and you can't help but pick up your phone, you might need to ditch your distractions.
I still have my Audible account, I still have little puzzle games to help me turn off my brain before I go to bed. If a game creates a craving, it does not make the cut.
I encourage one and all to use your phone for good, not for distraction!
