We get back to living off flip phones.

There's this one phone actually I've been thinking about buying.

It's called the Light Phone.

And essentially all you can do on it is text, call, text.

It has a calculator, has like a notes section, maybe a calendar.

And I think directions and music, like you can import songs onto it.

And I've been thinking about buying that and maybe leaving my iPhone at the office and then using the light phone when I'm home on the weekends, the mornings, the evenings.

Because I hate the fact that my phone steals my presence.

And we can incorporate disciplines and boundaries as much as possible, but we are weak humans and we will find ways to break those boundaries.

But some of the disciplines that Seth and I have around technology and phones, something that we've recently started doing actually is utilizing this app.

It's called AppBlock.

We use it for our phones.

So what we do right now is, and we recently started incorporating this, we do a weekend social media fast.

So we turn on this app and within the app, you can set timelines and schedules, essentially, to be able to use certain apps in your phone.

So right now, the way we have it set up is that we can't access any of the social media Saturday and Sunday on our phones.

And then during the week, the way I have mine set up is that I can't access social media on my phone from 4 p.m.

until 7.30 p.m.

I typically leave the office at 4 p.m.

and then we get the kids down around 7.30 p.m.

So my social media is blocked during this time.
