Iāve dramatically decreased my time on the phone. Even more in 2023
The idea is simple- the application is hard
Hereās how Iām doing it šš½ 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 donāt often go. This way it takes āmore workā to get to the phone. This creates a buffer between the phone & myself.

3. The phone doesnāt leave this room unless itās during my work times. Going to dinner? Or out & about? - If Iām with my wife the phone stays home. ((She brings hers))

4. The phone doesnāt 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 weekendsā¦ I only bring it with me if Iām going somewhere alone & may need it. Outside of that itās going to stay in the room- plugged into the wall

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

I realized I was physically with my people but mentally Iād be somewhere else. ((Sound familiar?)) If I want to check the phone It means I have to physically leave. Now,ā¦ -
8.I love to learnā¦ so when I think of ((anything)) I like to look it up to learn more about it. Itās GREATā¦ but it does discourage thinking deeper before searching Google for an answer.

Now that my phone isnāt around as much Iām encouraged to think deeper & come to moreā¦ -

Iāve 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.

Do you need a healthier relationship with your phone? Social media? Friends? Family? Business? Coworkers?
