Unplugged: Escape the Scroll and Take Back Your Attention (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798195544843)

Do you ever pick up your phone for one quick check, only to look up half an hour later wondering where the time went?

If so, you are not alone. Phone overuse rarely looks dramatic. It shows up in small, constant ways: fractured attention, restless evenings, poor sleep, shorter patience, and the creeping sense that more of your life is being lived through a screen.

This book will help you understand why your phone is so hard to resist and show you how to change your habits in a realistic, sustainable way.

Inside, you will learn how to:

• understand the psychology behind compulsive phone use
• spot the hidden ways your screen affects your mind, mood, and relationships
• break the scroll loop and reduce mindless checking
• rely less on willpower and use better systems instead
• reclaim your mornings, evenings, and attention
• make small changes that lead to lasting results

You do not need to become extreme. You do not need to throw your phone away. You just need a better way to use it.

With practical advice, clear insight, and bonus tools including 30 ways of reducing phone use, how to manage phones with children and a 'Boredom Menu', this book will help you spend less time lost on your phone and more time fully present in your real life.

Stop scrolling through your days. Start living them.
