• Be aware of your tech-tool usage, keeping a diary for a week of what devices you use, for what reason, and for how long.
• Set up boundaries for yourself, such as refusing to check emails before 10 a.m. or after 10 p.m.
• Call someone for a 10-minute phone conversation rather than using text.
• Leave your phone in your car while at the movies and in your glove compartment while driving.
• Establish a no-smartphone policy during family dinners.
