Summary

Screen time is one of the biggest issues facing families today--and we're not just referring to our kids. We set alarms on our phones, await important calls, send urgent emails, and the list goes on. Yet, science has some fascinating new insights on what really matters as it relates to how to maximize our time on our phones and yet be present with people. Joey Odom, cofounder of Aro, a technology platform leveraging the science of habit formation to help you connect by disconnecting, is with us this week to talk about screen time and how to reclaim family time without moving to a flip phone. Joey talks with us about:

Essential rules to have as a family in the context of screen time
Ways we can leverage our screen time for good
The value of time and how we can use it as motivation to spend more quality time as a family
The mission behind Aro, how it works, and where the name came from
Why it matters specifically as a dad to be on board with less time on the phone
