I agree completely Dr. Brooke! Technology can be such a waste of time and mental energy. I’m not even on social media but still get drawn into stuff in my phone like podcasts and YouTube. I don’t feel that I’m missing anything about social media but I am older. 😊 When I was drinking alcohol, I definitely felt pressure to respond quickly to everyone who reached out to me. I’ve learned in sobriety to take care of myself first. I use Do not disturb on my phone daily but need to work on my morning habit of checking my Oura ring sleep tracking and readiness right when I wake up. If it’s not great, it puts me in a bad mood. Not a good way to start the day. I love your advice for the morning- Create before Consume!
Thank you for this! It’s been on my mind a lot lately because my phone tells me how many hours per day I spend on it. It’s shocking to see how many hours are wasted - every day of my life. What better things could I do with that time? So many things! One thing that helps me is to put my phone on silent mode during the day so I don’t get constant notifications. It’s hard to disconnect but having those extra hours in the day is worth it,

Yes, the Oura ring is also such a must! Love it, Frances!
