Gracias por tu apoyo, significa mucho para mí. Phew, that's all the Spanish I have right here 😃 You could post this in Spanish for your newsletter, that would be great!
I think it's a nice reminder to not see our mobile as an extension of ourselves. A needed post for myself as well, I tend to scroll right before going to bed, so I'd better apply some of my own tips! Thanks for stopping by.
The poor guy thought he was doing himself a favor. These are all great tips, and I'll add the one I tell my kids: "Don't walk and be on your phone at the same time!" This week, my sister was sitting in her car catching up on some work she missed while she was in the store. A woman who was looking down at her phone walked up to the driver's side door and opened it, about to get in, where my sister was sitting. The woman thought it was her car that was actually across the parking lot.
Screen addiction is definitely eroding our well-being. We think we're doing ourselves a favor by putting our brains into the thing (contacts, reminders, etc...), but when it comes to brains, use it or lose it applies. I've shut off Alexa and now force myself to remember things on my own, and I've noticed a big difference in less brain fog. I'm not a big phone person and I feel brain stronger for it.
Walking and staring at the phone is a really good one.
The earlier we teach kids there's a whole set of behaviours to have or not to have with smartphones, the better. I've had to avoid so many people who do that on sidewalks! 🙃
One of the things I changed recently is counting. I force myself to count in my head as often as possible nowadays. I try not to rely on my phone as much for that. And indeed, also for appointments and such.
Need to have this translated asap. This is such a well-written succinct resource for everyone 😍

Yes - way too much screen time. Thank you for this much needed post.

A bit of friction never hurt anyone.
