This was such a short, practical conversation which is what I feel so many of us need when there is so much information out there as far as navigating media and screentime.
Brenee Brown has a quote I love, 'to be clear is to be kind." Alex is clear with her media management tips and was so kind and gentle in sharing it through this conversation.
Some things we discussed :
1.) Hiding like counts on your profile – how to do it and the benefits.
2.) A 4-step process of interacting with media in a more mindful way
3.) The impulse behind phone checking and what to do about it
4.) Navigating the newborn days when there is a lot of time spent “just sitting.”
5.) Understanding screentime research – how to sift through the data
