In this episode, I help you understand how incredibly valuable and necessary our phones have become. To think that we can do without is unrealistic. We use our phones for work, to check the weather, get directions, find the love of our life, have groceries delivered, lock our front door, scroll through social media and so much more.
But, as is the case with anything that is good for us or helpful, there’s also the danger of compulsive use. So, for many of us, our phones have replaced our ability to be present.
I’ll break down the six steps I’m using to limit my phone use to increase my ability to be present. I’ll also offer do’s and don’ts to have a meaningful conversation with your significant other about their phone use.
You’ll find out:
- How my phone usage has become compulsive
- How many hours a day (an expert says) using your phone qualifies as an addiction
- How to be present (AKA not looking at our phones when bored, etc.)
- Why I need to use my phone
- My recent anecdote forcing myself to be present (and not look at my phone)
- Details on the 6 steps I’m implementing to limit my phone usage
- My suggestion for notifications on your phone
- How everyone underestimates how much they use their phone
- What works for Bret and I re: communicating our phone use
