Your Phone Before Your Feet

Look at what the phone does to your mornings and try one different first move.

Purpose: Look at what the phone does to your mornings and try one different first move.

When to use: Use this if you reach for your phone before you are properly awake.

Worksheet prompts

  1. This morning: how long between waking up and picking up your phone? What did you open?
  2. After that, how did you feel compared to before you picked it up?
  3. What are you actually looking for when you reach for it first thing?
    The time, the news, a message, or nothing in particular.
  4. Name one different first move for tomorrow, and where the phone will be while you do it.

You are not trying to quit your phone. You are trying to go second, not first.
