Okay @abigail-dantes, once again, you have brought up some great things to ponder! For starters, the soup bowl that never stops reminds me of when I look at one video on Facebook and it immediately starts another one. Next thing I know, I've lost a half hour of precious time looking at cats getting brain freeze from eating ice cream. So, my solution to that was to not just remove the app from my phone but I also used a site blocker to keep me from looking out of habit.
I too was obsessed with Steemit for a season and when life got rather busy, I felt tremendous guilt for not being on as often. I learned to let go of the guilt and actually embrace my newfound freedom and count this time away as just another season... which too will pass... and until it does, I just make an effort to pop in to show support to others from time to time.
Next, a new word I learned was phubbing... I'm glad there's a word for it. In our household, it's not such a big problem anymore since we blocked time waster sites and apps. Still, I'll have to talk to my husband so we can agree upon no-phubbing zones because really, it becomes just a matter of priority.
Nowadays, I am also trying to balance out my time here. Last year things were getting a bit out of control ! Anyways, you still manage to be incredibly supportive, my dear and I want to take this opportunity to thank you for this too !!
A no Phubbing area is an excellent idea. Here, in our home, it is the kitchen and the dinning room! :)
Have a wonderful week!
Much love to you always.
No smartphone use in the kitchen? How do you look up a recipe you spontaneously need?
Serious question. You see, I might have not understood the concept of phubbing completely yet.
