Summary

When it comes to reducing cell phone use, we've all heard the advice. Turn off notifications. Unfollow and unfriend. But this advice? It's stale. Shallow, even, because it does little to *actually* reduce time spent on screens. We often discuss gatekeeping our homes and the responsibility that comes with deciding what gets granted admittance. On today's show we identify what it means to be the gatekeeper of our peace by once and for all getting intentional with our tech. Here's a preview: [10:30] Enter white space: How to incrementally extend the length of time between your cell phone checks [12:30] Has the work-from-home movement ballooned our use of tech? [18:30] Here's the stuff you really, really should be deleting from your phone [22:00] The one phone-related step you can take to improve your focus, well-being, and relationships [26:00] Are you a phubber?
