What To Do Instead Of Picking Up Your Phone

By Monique Rhodes

October 16, 2026


You sit down after dinner, the phone is in your hand before you've decided anything, and an hour later you get up feeling worse. That isn't a willpower problem. You've been up against something built to be easier than anything else in the house, while every alternative you tried was sitting in a cupboard. I explain why the things you've tried instead haven't lasted, and I give you ideas for what to do instead, depending on how much time you've got. The single change that helps most is about where your phone spends the evening, and it takes ten seconds.
