Assess

Ask yourself:
How much screen time do I allow myself each day? My kids?
When do I use my devices?
Are my devices defining me? Judging others? Spreading kindness?

Choose

Choose your values:
What values are most important to you, your family, your organization?
Do you control your time, or does your phone?
What about your notifications; how do you feel when you receive a ding or a chime?
