Decreasing Phone Addiction in 2023

The reality is… the phones are incredibly addicting

I’ve dramatically decreased my time on the phone. Even more in 2023

The idea is simple- the application is hard

Here’s how I’m doing it 👇🏽 pic.twitter.com/1fgNJ04QN3

1. I put my phone away in the afternoon/evenings when my workday is complete.

2. Put the phone in a room I don’t often go. This way it takes “more work” to get to the phone. This creates a buffer between the phone & myself.

3. The phone doesn’t leave this room unless it’s during my work times. Going to dinner? Or out & about? - If I’m with my wife the phone stays home. ((She brings hers))

4. The phone doesn’t enter my bedroom. I use a watch for my alarm

5. Going to lunch/coffee with friends? The phone stays in the truck. I have no need for it in conversations.

6. On the weekends… I only bring it with me if I’m going somewhere alone & may need it. Outside of that it’s going to stay in the room- plugged into the wall

7.Speaking on leaving it plugged into the wall… prior I would be on my phone while we chilled on the couch.

I realized I was physically with my people but mentally I’d be somewhere else. ((Sound familiar?)) If I want to check the phone It means I have to physically leave. Now,…

8.I love to learn… so when I think of ((anything)) I like to look it up to learn more about it. It’s GREAT… but it does discourage thinking deeper before searching Google for an answer.

Now that my phone isn’t around as much I’m encouraged to think deeper & come to more…

Conclusion:
I’ve found a new peace & awareness within myself while implementing these strategies

90+% of the clients I coach through self development/life & business have began implementing these strategies.

They are experiencing better quality of life & growing intimacy within their relationships. They are less stressed & more focused.

My business clients are working less & earning MORE. We are seeing marriages heal & connections grow stronger.
