We’re Not Addicted to Our Phones—We’re Just Wired to Respond | From Ad-Libs To Zephyrs™ 

You ever glance at your phone just to check the time… and twenty minutes later, you’re watching someone organize their spice drawer with neon labels and Gregorian chants?

Take a breath before you open.
Ask yourself: “Am I present, or am I avoiding presence?
