Ugh, I'm so over my phone. But also I've got a long commute and haven't quite figured out what to do with myself - I can do email on the bus, listen to podasts, but I can't read books without wanting to be sick?
I feel you, Coree!! I need to start listening to podcasts to my iPad so I can listen while I cook dinner. It's so much more convenient to pop my phone on the countertop and listen. I also can't read in a moving car or bus without getting sick--sigh! Podcasts sounds like a good move for the bus, but then you need to find something to do with your hands and eyes, too! Cheering us both on as we explore our phone habits.
I think it's interesting how phones tend to control many of us rather than we controlling them. I believe we could all benefit from bringing some JOMO into our lives and appreciating what the world has to offer when we look up from our phones. Personally I'm sometimes struggling since my many meditations are on my phone. However, having the phone in night mode during the evening and night has been very beneficial for me. I love your summer experiment! I'm wishing the best for you 🤗

I need to figure out how to sync pocketcasts to my smart speaker in the kitchen, I think. Then I could plug my phone in upstairs for the evening.

Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts, Julia! I love your language around JOMO for taking space from our phones. Nice work with the night mode!
