How addicted are you to your phone?

Gotta have it while I poop and use it for work. I’m bummed if I leave it at the house but that’s mainly because I like to use Waze wherever I go.

More than I like to admit.

More than I’d like to be. But I can also put it down and not worry about it for a while without issue.

I find myself looking stuff up far too often though.

To phoning people?

Not at all

Yup, like i can do shite without it. I’ve done it before.

My screen time average is 5 hours per day each week. It’s fricking embarrassing and I hate it.

I started leaving it out of my office and now I only used it for an hour a day or so. It's really nice. Most week days I go to bed and it's still more than 80% charged. I'm usually less pissed off, had a better day at work, and sleep better.

Everywhere I go people are staring at their phones…Dr office, grocery cashiers, people driving, construction workers. I saw a guy today on a riding mower staring at his phone. And it’s not just young people. Old people are just as guilty. Not us Americans. Last time I was in Thailand MRT mass transit…yup, everyone staring at their phones. I’m really starting to 2nd guess that smart phones are great inventions. Sure it’s convenient, connected, and we have all this info at our fingertips. But at what cost?

Lately, if I just got in my car and the phone is in the house, I say frick it and let it ride. The old me would be “what if I get an engine failure”. But nothing ever happens. I think the Phone makes us more dependent on it and we feel the need to have it on us 24/7.
