Turn off your phone and put it aside. Read a paper book, listen to music, have a conversation, take a walk, take a bath. Take out a piece of paper and do some future-self journaling. Do something that engages your senses and reclaims your time. Let the phone and all of its applications serve you. Don’t let them drive the ship of your life.
