Your phone isn't the real problem, and

0:01

blaming it is letting the real issue

0:03

completely off the hook. Instead of

0:05

endless notifications, turn off

0:07

everything that isn't essential. Instead

0:09

of scrolling before bed, charge your

0:11

phone outside the bedroom. Instead of a

0:13

phone on the desk, use it as a timer,

0:15

then set it face down. Instead of

0:17

assuming the phone is the whole problem,

0:20

look at what's actually pulling your

0:21

attention on it.
