I could not be more excited to do a complete social media shut down this week. I found myself starting the day on my phone again and it’s a habit I am really looking to stop before it gets carried away. My kiddos don’t have any camps or practices this week so the slower pace is something I want to take more productive advantage of. I am hoping to get organized and focused this week and hadn’t thought until now to schedule brain breaks. I usually try to eat within a certain window during the day so maybe this is the same approach I should take with social media and being on my phone specifically. I am excited to hit the reset button a bit and continue working toward healthier habits!
Timing is everything!

Amy,
It is amazing how technology becomes so habitual. It is almost second nature to check social media sites (followed by ESPN) first thing in the morning. As soon as I get out the bed i have my phone out. It is just crazy. Going on a complete social media shut down sounds like a good idea. I don’t have kids, but I can see why how setting that example for them would be a good thing.
Good luck this week.

Hey Alex! Thanks for your reply. The summer time has been a little challenging with them to be honest. They wake up asking to play games on the computer or watch youTube even though they know I won’t even consider a screen before 2-3pm! I hadn’t thought about it in terms of setting an example, but you have a really good point. They see me on my computer for work right away and don’t truly see the difference between my screen time and theirs.
