Recap of Week 1 of the Phone Breakup Challenge
And an updated version of the accompanying workbook
Friends:
Thank you to everyone who has been actively participating in the February Phone Breakup Challenge and our paid subscriber group support chat. It has been wonderful to read your comments and questions—and to see you reacting to and supporting each other. What a NICE use of the internet!
As a reminder, the February Phone Breakup Challenge is your opportunity to do the four-week plan in the revised edition of How to Break Up With Your Phone with other people. Over the course of the month, I’m sending out weekly newsletters featuring advice and suggestions based on that week of the plan.
And also, thank you to everyone who has bought the book and has recommended it to friends and shared it on their social media accounts. Publishing (and publicizing) a book takes a village, and I truly appreciate your support.
Announcing an Updated Workbook
Over the years, many people have requested a workbook for How to Break Up With Your Phone — so I created a printable PDF workbook (delivered as a digital download) designed to be used alongside the book. I’m happy to say that it’s now fully revised and updated to reflect the changes in the new edition. It’s certainly possible to go through the plan without the workbook, but if you think it’d be helpful, here you go.

Week 1 Recap:
Day 1: Baseline and Goal-Setting
Welcome to Day 1 of the Feb Phone Breakup Challenge! This week we’re going to focus on establishing a baseline and setting goals. Let’s start by figuring out where you are RIGHT NOW. Please take a minute to look at your phone’s screen time settings and figure out how much time, on average, you’re spending on your phone each day. (If you don’t know how to do this, do an internet search for your phone’s model and “screen time.“)
