Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.

I think I've shared on the podcast before that in my book club, we're doing a book

right now about breaking up with your phone.

And now that we're coming towards the end of the month in my book club, so I'm recording this at the end of towards the end of March, I wanted to just share with all the tips, techniques and tools. I wanted to share just a couple of my favorite things from this book and from my book club experience this month. But I believe are the easiest to apply no matter your level of phone

use, whether you're on your phone for hours and hours a day like most people are, whether you're

not using it perhaps as much, but you'd like to have more creative freedom, more peace in your

life, frankly, your mind back. I love to say, are you using your phone or is your phone

using you?

We know it's designed to keep us and to hold our attention and the rebel and me just hates that.

I just want to share a couple of, oh, excuse me, just scratching my face in. I want to share a couple of

my favorite takeaways from this experience, okay. And I believe that these can be helpful

to you no matter what, no matter your phone use right now. The book talks a lot about creating

speed bumps. Now, this is nothing new, right? Typically, if we want to stop doing something or

start doing something, any good old habit stacker or habit

breaker is about making or allowing things to be easy. So having healthy, clean food prepared

in your fridge, if that's a goal for you, right? It's not about each day planning and prepping.

It's about just letting it be easy, right? Our favorite thing to say, planning ahead of time. So how do we do this with

our phone? Apply this age-old technique of understanding ourselves, our mind and habits work. It's simple.

Create the speed bumps that work for you. So instead of, you know, reaching for junk food or

ordering a pizza late,

you've already got your fridge stock, so to speak, right? So how do we apply this to the phone?

Well, this might seem completely wild. But what about taking a one day vacation a week?
