Hi Belle! Coincidentally today I had a conversation with a coworker about phone addiction. I have 0 social media accounts (unless you include LinkedIn) but am still addicted to my phone. She gave me a suggestion that I just started doing today: put a hair tie on your phone which helps make you conscious of exactly why you are picking it up, what you plan to do, etc. While not the same as a meditation swap, so far it’s helping me be more mindful, and I’m making the choice more often to not remove the hair tie.

Such a good idea! And great to create community around it. I set a timer on my phone so I’m only allowed on any social media apps for a total of 1 hour a day. That’s already cut down my usage (read addiction) but I could go further! Thank you for this impetus.
