My husband *just* had this convo with me about moving our phones out of our room & using alarm clocks instead. We made the decision when we got married to not have a TV in our room but phones have eliminated the need & erased all of our good intentions with that decision. After reading this essay, I’m motivated to make that change to kickstart some better habits with my phone!
Funny enough, before the alarm clock switch, the TV was far less of an issue than the phone had become! Curious what you notice if you make the switch — report back! :)
I so enjoyed this piece! And yes, it's the stupid little questions that always have me reaching for my phone. That and the notes function. I have 100s of notes on my phone; it's a problem. Ha.
I think you've convinced me to try an analog alarm clock and leave the phone in another room.

Thank you, Megan! And I'll see your Notes and raise you an infinite number of Gmail drafts with my random thoughts...ha!
If you get an old school alarm clock, come back and let me know how it goes!
