Screen Time Workbook

Remember when reading used to be a thing you could do?

Like you'd sit down with a book and... read it.

Not read two pages, think about checking your phone, resist checking your phone, wonder if someone texted you, wonder what the weather is tomorrow, wonder if penguins have knees, check your phone, accidentally open Instagram, and then find yourself watching a guy make homemade sunscreen like a mayonnaise.

A phone shouldn't be the reason you're exhausted despite spending all evening on the couch.

It shouldn't be the reason you walk into a room and forget why you went there.

It shouldn't be the reason your friend has to repeat the last thing she said because you drifted off halfway through the conversation.

And yet...

Here we are.

You pick up your phone to check one thing. One thing. Then somehow you're watching a woman restock her fridge, a guy dancing and lip singing, and an influencer say how a lip oil changed her life.

Forty-three minutes later, you can't even remember what you originally opened your phone for.

Cool.

If willpower was the answer, deleting Instagram would've worked the first time. Or the second. Or the fifth. But instead you delete the app. Feel powerful for three days. Then reinstall it. Because "[you] just need to check something really quick."

The breakup from your phone isn’t accidentally hard.

Zuck and his buddies spent billions on grabbing our attention: notifications, content with no end mimicking slot machines, people feeding our ego with hearts and comments of how lovely we look.

And the cost isn't lost time.

It’s the conversations you didn’t do because you were physically there but mentally I-want-to-pick-my-phone-now. It’s all the things you could’ve done with that time. Your potential. Your dreams. Your quality of sleep. Your quality of life is uninfluenced from the scroll.

After all, who cares if Hailey Bieber had a mask on while eating sushi, or how McDonald's CEO couldn't eat their burger?

This was never really a screen-time problem. Nobody sits there thinking: "You know what would make today incredible? Six consecutive hours of scrolling."

The real problem is what happens right before you reach for it. And until you understand what's happening in that moment, you'll keep fighting the same battle over and over again. Delete. Reinstall. Delete. Reinstall.

That’s why I created this workbook.

This workbook helps you understand why you keep reaching for your phone in the first place, without pretending you need to move to a cabin in the woods and throw your phone into a lake.

We want our phones to work for us, not lose our time, right?

No more grabbing the phone as soon as your friends start talking politics or when you wait for your coffee to brew.

After all, your mommy didn’t abstain from pinot noir while expecting you for you to spend 13 years of your life on screens. 13. WHOLE. YEARS, excluding screens for work (!!!).
