Take Action For Distraction

Is it time to check Instagram?

What's my timer say?

Fifteen more minutes.

I've built in limits.

Overwise it's too addictive for me.

Friggin dopamine hits.

Research shows we check our phones up to 150 times a day.

I counted.

I'm down to 50.

It took a while.

The only reason I'm less is I leave it in the car on purpose.

Sometimes.

If it wasn't my phone, it'd be something else.

It's a brain thing, not just a tech thing.

Not a fault, but a thing.

How I'm wired.

You too?

Where's that sabre-tooth tiger?

Where's that insta-tooth tiger?

Same.

Wake.

No phone.

Meditate.

No phone.

Exercise outside.

No phone.

Sleep.

No phone.

Repeat.

Wake.

No phone.

Meditate.

Phone.

Exercise outside.

No phone.

Sleep.

No phone.

Where's that insta-tooth tiger?

In my mind.
