Brainstorming ways to increase your brain skills:
-organization/writing down what you need to get done-deep conversations
-try to get an hour of exercise – counts as time away from your phone
-trying to focus on one thing at once
-meditation/breathing exercises
-self-reflection
-beneficial breaks/non-screen ex. going on a walk, clearing head
-studying with someone else/group – less likely to go on phone

The following quote from Everyday Health is about physical inactiveness due to technology:

“The longer you sit either in front of a computer or TV, the greater likelihood you’ll die earlier – even if you lift weights, jog or swim for 30 minutes a day, according to an ongoing study by physiologist Marc Hamilton, Ph.D., a professor at Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, La”
