Have Better Communication

We have gotten to a point in our lives where when we see a friend that we have not seen in a while, we still whip out our phones and check Facebook and other social media and mobile applications instead of focusing on the person in front of us. Set clear expectations for what is acceptable smartphone use and what is not in your family and your social circles. If you turn off ALL your push notifications, all of those familiar little noises will disappear from your life, and so will the urge to constantly pick up your phone! By setting custom ringtones, you can ensure that you only go running when you hear the phone ring if it's someone important. By making a conscious effort to unplug during certain times every day, you're living intentionally and making a positive impact on your smartphone habits every single day.
