American adults on average spent more than four hours on their phones in 2020. Can we reduce our phone usage if we want to? Some recent research says yes.

Good Morning – August 19, 2021

Good morning! Happy Thursday. It is pouring out this morning. β˜”

No morning walk 🚢🏻 today, it’s much too wet. That’s fine, I’ve been staying up too late lately, and needed to sleep πŸ› in a bit this morning to get caught up.

Rain and 74 degrees in Delmar, NY. β˜” There is a southeast breeze at 10 mph. πŸƒ. The dew point is 72 degrees. Definitely a wet morning. πŸ’¦The skies will clear Saturday around 9 am.

The plan for today is to work from home 🏑 although I do need to get to the library and return some library books πŸ“š. I think I can work entirely today using my phone πŸ“± and transferring files using it, πŸ“‚ I will have hot spot service once again come Saturday. I got my $20 replacement phone in the mail today, I am going to activate it tomorrow. Or maybe once it’s charged I can just swap the sim card and SD card although I will still have to reinstall all the apps on the Wi-Fi tomorrow.

Tomorrow I have multiple Zoom meetings though the day, πŸ“Ή I am probably going to drive down to the library and work down there all day. The alternative is working in the office 🏒 downtown but I don’t feel like going in the office tomorrow I don’t think.

Finally been going through my pictures from last weekend and even vacation πŸ– and will start to upload more of them during the coming days.
