Sometimes I really do think we share a brain! Yes on all points! I’ve already started doing this—read my post “Substack is great but…” if you haven’t already. (Oh, you already did! 👍🏼)
I’ve seen a few people ask here and there how exactly they can get away from it all, so I thought it would be best to share the advice that I’ve learned. I hope it can help at least one to get away from it all. We weren’t meant to bear so much.
Great article, and painfully relatable. I might try (some of) the steps, but I'm NOT getting rid of gps, because I'm truly the worst in orientation and gps has saved my life!
The addiction and dependence to technology, or just the internet in general, is something I've been aware of for a long time. And because I'm on a computer all day for work, I decided to not have a smart phone as my primary phone. (I do have one that was gifted to me, but I use it for international travel).
Its very freeing not to be glued to a blue screen all the time and even on weekends, unless absolutely necessary, I avoid my computer at home. A break is needed.
I’m glad to hear. My grandfather recently got addicted to his new smartphone, so I thought to myself, surely we must get serious about this, helping those that need it.
Very true. I think Lent is a good way for people to manage their dependence on their smartphone. I mean I don’t if I can say anything, its been a long time since I’ve done Lent. Not since nearly dying when I gave up potatoes.

Thank you 🤠
Some is already a great step forward! I hope they allow you to enjoy your Lent.
No phone at bed and in the morning has already helped a lot.
