Here’s what I did to reclaim my time and huge bits of sanity.

1.
I took off all notifications from my more favourite digital influencers, and yes from all my What’s App groups too.





2.
I gave myself permission to have personal social media breaks and respected all the time limits I set. I came off my phone when they ended.





3.
I enlisted help. I assigned myself e-mail and chat response times and shared them with everyone on my team with a simple. ‘Hey, I’m working on this task, we’ll talk later, how is in 3 hours for you?’





4.
I stopped sleeping with my phone next to me. This was a major game changer. Finally, I began using my platforms to connect not with a tick or an emoji but with an invitation for a coffee date, or a meet-up, places (wefies aside) you won’t ever find me on my phone.
Thanks for reading! 🙂 If you enjoyed this article, say hello on

Excellent suggestions! We need to starting learning to communicate like People again!
you are so correct about the phone taking away from personal time and intimacy and old fashioned conversation where facial expressions are natural and creative too.
i have also realized that the phone and social media provides a very easy, secretive and deceptive way for infidelity, cheating and dishonesty to occur within a relationship.
