Phone addiction kind of crept up on me.

When I first started working we didn't have emails going to our phones and I just checked them the first thing in the morning.

Now with your inbox just an app icon press away, I've found myself checking emails a few times an hour, even as late as 10pm when I should be relaxing and taking a mental break from work.

So at the end of 2020 I challenged myself to go phone-free for 5 days. It was amazing how many times I went to reach for my phone in the first couple of days. Watch the video to find out a few other things I discovered!
