Great advice. The smartphone is incredibly addictive. When I've got my act together, like you, I can keep it under control. But I had to delete FB, log out of Pinterest, and refuse to look at IG or emails before lunch time. And the Do Not Disturb is perfect for when I'm writing. Hours of delicious uninterrupted silence.

Great reflection! We all know the issues with the smartphone, but when you put it into perspective and realize how much time it’s actually sucking it from us, it’s pretty scary to think about!

Great topic. I always wonder how certain writers from the past were so prolific - lack of iPhone was a definite plus for them!

Totally true. It’s tricky because the brain is sometimes tired and wants something easy like scrolling. But you’d be better off getting some sleep and starting fresh the next day.
