I feel so much better when I take breaks from my phone. And yet, I still end up looking at it way too much during the week. It’s when I “don’t have enough time to read a book or watch a show” at least that’s what I think. But in reality an hour goes by and I’m still on my phone. Love the turtle steps, will remember that so I don’t make myself feel so bad. Thanks!

We all fall into that trap - you're definitely not alone! And yes, I like to think of turtle steps for lots of things these days :)

Yes! I set a boundary for myself to not look at my phone past 7pm. It's been such a simple and free way to gain back so much free time and zen in my life. I also try not to look at my phone for the first hour I'm awake in the morning.
