I need this so badly... I’m so addicted to my phone. Years ago I looked down at ppl that were & said I’d never do that to my kids... now I’m on it every time I’m stressed or bored...
Would love more details on apps that can help with this. I’m very very not tech savvy. I have an iPhone.

I will look for the screen timer app because I am definitely guilty of losing track of time online.
I wasn't perfect today with not using the phone while talking to the kids but surely better than I would have been if I weren't challenging myself. I plan to continue this challenge. I think my biggest struggle was multitasking - my browsing problem is after the kids are asleep; when they're around it's more functional texting. The truth is the texts can wait (if only I didn't have such a tendency to forget what I needed to take care of when I don't do it immediately...) so next time I will be aware of that trap and try to cut down on the texts.

Sadly I was not perfect with it, but better than nothing. Since I forgot when I first woke up, I changed my alarms. I have an alarm set on my phone every school morning that reads Get Up. Now I changed my Thursday one to Get Up, Don't Use Phone. I hope I notice it, but at least it's a small reminder. I'm going to try again for next week.

Yo'ma, thank you so much for this challenge. It was life changing. I did pretty well in Friday, it was amazing how calm my day was. I did notice that as it got closer to Shabbos, I began forgetting, and sneaking peaks at my phone... I realized that I was tired already, and needed a rest - after that it was much easier to stay focused on what I needed to do.
I'm trying again today, but I keep forgetting...
