• How to change how you connect to others.

Do you feel in control of your phone use? Or does it sometimes feel like it’s in control of you? Have you ever wondered how much of your daily stress and anxiety is linked to your phone and constant connectivity? How different would your life be if you made intentional choices to unplug?

The problem is, so many of these devices or apps to help you decrease screen time feel so all or nothing. Or they’re too easy to get around. And then ultimately, the change isn’t sustainable.

That’s why I’m excited about the approach I learned in this episode. Instead of just cutting off tech, or decreasing our Instagram usage to 30 minutes a day… Hannah Brencher suggests a challenge of 1000 hours completely tech free.

What I love about this method is that it alone also gives you a hit of dopamine, but toward something more positive. Those of you who love to-do lists know that joy of checking off a task each day.

But there’s more to it than this. Which we’ll talk about today. Hannah Brencher is a writer and a mom with a continual quest to be more present in life. She’s also the author of The Unplugged Hours: Cultivating a Life of Presence in a Digitally Connected World.
