it's this app where you can create a shortcut on whichever app(s) you want (i.e. social media ones you spend too much time on), and every time you open those apps, it makes you wait like 10 seconds and shows you how many times you've opened that app in the last 24 hours. has literally cut my social media usage by nearly half and makes me way more intentional about social media use bc half the time i'm opening those apps out of habit.

Not a new rec bc I downloaded it when ayo recommended it in the 'sletter this past summer, but this app has truly changed the way I use my phone. As a very phone-addicted person, it's one of the only things that has made a tangible dent in not only my screen time but also my approach to social media. It's a simple concept (literally just wait a sec before you open instagram or w/e) but this shit really works.

this app has reduced my screen time so much and it’s the only (actually) free one I can find in the app store

It feels like a feature almost nobody I know uses but it’s been LIFE changing for me. Having automatic reminders to try and guide my routine like work breaks, journaling time, etc. it’s like having a personal assistant working around the clock

i could literally stay in child’s pose for hours but i fear when i came out of it i would have a permanent red circle on my forehead. it opens the hips and releases built up tension, it clears the sinuses, it relieves headaches, it’s a good stretch for the shoulders, it stimulates the third eye point…yoga with adriene describes it as “entering your own personal love cave” because when you open your eyes, all you see is the little spaces between your nose and your knees and your mat, and it makes me feel like i’m chillin in the womb again in the best way. if people hit child’s pose more often i think there would be peace on earth.

i love putting on a movie on low volume with subtitles as ambiance when i’m hosting a party. not only does it make for excellent vibes, but it’s a great thing to have when someone needs a break from the social battery of it all and can zone out without looking at their phone. also a great convo starter if people don’t know each other - like here’s something happening before your very eyes that’s a safe and easy topic to discuss and bond over. taking suggestions for my upcoming “spring fling” themed party this weekend <3
