Love this perspective of being somewhere in the middle — I feel like a lot of the time it seems like our options are just all or nothing. I’ve also been trying to reach a good equilibrium for myself, transitioning to longer form content and listening to podcasts while i do things around the house to keep myself from wanting to be on my phone. smaller steps are def more sustainable.
Yep, all about sustainable change. Big shifts don’t happen overnight… ironically, I think our phones make us feel like they do with all the instant gratification we get online.
really loved reading this <3 realizing that my social media habits are a genuine addiction has been simultaneously so eye-opening and so somber. have been grappling with this for the past 2 years and believe that we can find a way out!!
I know Pepper when I see it 😭 but in all seriousness, I 1000% recommend the book Stolen Focus by Johann Hari ! It goes beyond the phone screen problem into the pandemic of decreasing attention spans. I’m only halfway through but it’s sincerely life-changing! Plus the narration is *chefs kiss* 🥴
Mentioning making your phone feel like how It did on the mission resonated sooo much. I think that was one of the times when my mind was the clearest, I’m def gonna implement some of your ideas !
