It so rapidly wipes out that state of calm that you can get from being out in the wilderness.

No.

Well, I wish we could set up an auto reply for text messaging.

That would make me feel more calm.

I think the movement to get them out of schools is good.

You know, we I felt like we as parents, we had no choice that the that our children were being it was a required part of of what they had to do in the classroom was to have access to the Internet on something, you know, at least recognizing that problem and being a little more thoughtful about it.

And, you know,

The cases where schools have decided to keep the phones all the way out of the classroom, I think, are certainly that's worth trying.

And let's see how it goes.

So I try to be aware of what am I getting from the phone at any particular moment in time or for any particular purpose.

So I feel pretty good about texting with my friends and family.

I feel great about using it to have access to public transit in a city that I'm not familiar with.

Love that.

Love it as a travel tool.

Love it for, you know, booking plane flights and things like that.

So convenient that I can do that.

It frees up time that I would otherwise be at my computer doing some deeper work.

You know, OK, now I can do that on my phone somewhere when I just have a free moment.

So I love that.

I think it's useful for me to try to be aware of what do I want to get out of my phone right now?
