The Question You Should Be Asking About Screen Time

April 6, 2018 by Leanne Sowul 2 Comments

I’ve been struggling to decide where I stand on the question of limits on screen time– not for myself, but for my kids. Although I know many people feel over-connected to their phones, that’s never been a problem for me. I keep my phone in my purse both at home and at work, and only […]

New (And Better) iPhone Habits

January 27, 2014 by Leanne Sowul Leave a Comment

I’ve been trying to break my iPhone addiction for awhile. I’ve written about it in several posts, most notably in I Love/Hate My iPhone last spring.

The Laughable Schedule

March 13, 2013 by Leanne Sowul 1 Comment

As I mentioned in my last post, All Time Is Not Quality Time, I did a time log for a few days recently to see if I was scheduling enough time on my priorities. It was very enlightening. I was pleased to see that I’d spent plenty of time with family, taking care of the house, […]

The Cure for Brain Rot

March 30, 2012 by Leanne Sowul Leave a Comment

My brain is rotting. Though I have been doing better since I got my energy back, I’ve still needed considerably more resting time lately, and that has led to considerably more TV viewing time. I have been reading- about a book a week- but given the amount of time on my hands, that’s no large […]
