minus-squareGBU_28@lemm.eecakelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down3·9 months agoWell my doctor advised me to limit intense distractions to allow me to focus on my wellness and accomplish tasks. I never said throw the phone away. It took a lot of work to limit and change my habits, and help from my wife to help me block out stimuli and keep it away.
