Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I can’t eat anything without a screen going
- I eat almost every meal staring at a screen, and I’ll suddenly look down to find the plate empty with no memory of tasting any of it
- A whole day with no screens sounds impossible
- Every time I try an offline day I go in with no plan, get bored and twitchy within an hour, and end up right back on the phone by noon
- There’s no point where I actually put the screen down for the night
