Reflection
Had a busy day yesterday removing the battery from the car, helping my wife get a badly needed new phone (we barely upgrade but hers was going on something like 15 years old, and it was showing signs of reaching end of life), and going to our Monday small group.
Overall good day, though I'm still struggling to go to bed at a decent hour. I think this will come in time, but I need to learn to get up instead of prolonging my relaxation - even if it is with something good.
I am also trying to do something I learned from Cal Newport, which is to "normalize plugging in your phone when at home." I had started this to some extent, but I'm doing my best to be conscientious about this and place it in the kitchen / foyer during the workday and just while at home in general. I turn the ringer up so that I can hear phone calls if they come in, kind of like a traditional landline or cordless phone from back in the day.
