[Discussion] Why does it feel so hard to put the phone down?

So the thing is that I’ll pick up my phone to check just one thing… and suddenly I’ve lost half an hour. It makes me feel scattered like I’m missing real life around me.

My boyfriend is always grumpy because he apparently starts telling me something and I just tune out because the screen sucks me in.

I’ve tried screen time limits and detox apps, but honestly? but they either feel too restrictive or I just ignore them.

So ladies do you struggle with this too? what’s been the hardest part for you about cutting back?
