Gatekeeping Your Peace

Gatekeeping Your Peace

When it comes to reducing cell phone use, we’ve all heard the advice. Turn off notifications. Unfollow and unfriend. But this advice? It’s stale. Shallow, even, because it does little to *actually* reduce time spent on screens.

We often discuss gatekeeping our homes and the responsibility that comes with deciding what gets granted admittance. On today’s show we identify what it means to be the gatekeeper of our peace by once and for all getting intentional with our tech.

 

Here’s a preview:

[10:30] Enter white space: How to incrementally extend the length of time between your cell phone checks

[12:30] Has the work-from-home movement ballooned our use of tech?

[18:30] Here’s the stuff you really, really should be deleting from your phone

[22:00] The one phone-related step you can take to improve your focus, well-being, and relationships

[26:00] Are you a phubber?

How To Let Stuff Go

When we let go of what doesn't serve us, we remove weight that holds us down. On today's show we turn to Zen Buddhism for wisdom on letting go of anxiety about the future, grudges, stuff, dead relationships, and more.

Here's a preview:

[4:00] Insanely anxious about the future? (Me too!) Don't spend your energy worrying; do this instead

[12:00] Think of decluttering not as throwing stuff away; think of it instead as setting your stuff (and yourself!) free

[19:00] How to let go of lost friendships and relationships, straight from the mouths of Buddhist monks

[26:00] Holding a grudge requires vast amounts of energy so become skilled at forgetting

[34:00] You're going to get to where you're meant to go, so there's no need to second-guess your choices
