1. You pride yourself on hovering near inbox zero, since you read every email right as it comes in. Put the phone down and let them pile up a little! If it’s urgent, they’ll call.
  2. When you’re relaxing at nighttime after the stress of the day, your phone is still in your hand or on the bed next to you.
  3. You are genuinely surprised when you miss a friend’s Instagram, since you’re checking it all day long. And it stresses you out a little when you haven’t checked in a few hours, thinking about all those pictures you need to scroll though.
  4. You often falsely think you hear your phone ringing or buzzing, since you’re so tuned in to the sound of it.
  5. You can’t make it through a full day without your phone battery dying since you’re using it all day long.

If this sounds like you…Take some time this week to put some distance between yourself and your device. Leave it at home while you work out or run errands, or change your notification setting so only calls and texts make it buzz. And enjoy the bliss and creativity that goes hand in hand with unplugging!
