Summary
Hello, friends! This is a deep dive episode all about your phone. I share some apps and general principles that you can use with your phone to improve your mental health and overall life progress. Unfortunately there is one abrupt cut toward the end of the episode because my recording program crashed and I had to re-record some. Oh well!
Here are some of the apps that I mentioned:
Pacifica: https://www.thinkpacifica.com/
Headspace: https://www.headspace.com/
Calm: https://www.calm.com/
7 Cups: http://7cups.com/
Forest: https://www.forestapp.cc/en/
The next episode will likely be a Q & A episode, so please continue sending me your questions to duffthepsych@gmail.com
