But also don’t give yourself a pass.

As you said, everything in moderation. But many people far exceed the level of moderation.

I see couples/families often sitting in restaurants on their phones.

I see people sitting at intersections on their phones.

I see people driving while on their phones.

People often walk from point A to point B but spending much of that walk on their phones.

I rarely see people waiting somewhere without having to jump on their phones.

Again, moderation is fine, but I’d argue many are well beyond that point.

I've always kind of wondered...

if kids are sitting on bikes, riding together

or sitting on the couch, playing games together...

is one better than the other?

if I sit with my partner and we read books together

or we're on our phone together...

is it ok to be in our heads, but together?
