If I don’t live in Seattle is there a way to get a bookmark? I collect random bookmarks and I like it. Also, this has inspired me to put my phone down later tonight and keep reading your book.

Do you ever pick up your phone to look a thing up, check something first, then forget the thing you were going to look up in the first place? That's my specialty!

This is so real - and I think more of us need to acknowledge it. Phone addiction is actually a real thing just try to give up your phone completely for a while 😅

It's SO real. I wish I could toss it in a lake (and then also be able to find/use it when I need to make a phone call hahah)

I’ve had to take drastic measure lately. I deleted any app that can show me videos and turned on the black and white filter 😅😅 It’s helped a bit but it scares me that I had to do that to have the self control not to scroll 😳

Oh my gosh, I totally get the weird embarrassment of realizing how difficult it is to put down your phone. I've been trying (and mostly failing) to cut back on my phone usage, but this made me feel both comforted and motivated to try again!

I'm so glad I'm not alone! I actually have had some good success with the screen time app "Opal" (keeps you off certain apps during customized time periods of the day)!
