musings 24 : maybe it is that damn phone

I was a teenager when the dawning of the cell phone age was upon us and, before that, a newly transplanted teen who loved to be on the landline phone. I’m sure I heard my fair shares of “…it’s because of that phone” when I forgot to do something or missed some deadline. Hell, I even say to myself now.
But, I have come to realize that it may indeed be that damn phone. Sometimes I feel really out of sorts, as if I cannot think straight or process anything. Then I pay attention to my habits and notice that I am constantly picking up my phone to check notifications or social media or anything just because.
I have had to change up my habits to focus more on my goals and my business. So I have instituted focus hours and boundaries with my mobile devices that help me stay on track.
