I think it’s a Catch 22. I feel more plugged in and able to get things done. At the same time, it takes discipline not to always be checking your phone.

I do have a prepay phone for work because its an 80 mile drive round trip. The hubby is flew blown into the fast paced world of 3g and I’m hoping it doesn’t spread to me. I enjoy not being plugged in and I know I am a lot with my laptop. I actually wonder if upgrading to a smartphone would give me more free time and feel less plugged in because I wouldn’t have to sit and could do it when I needed to, instead of long stretches.

Now I’m wondering if you’re one of the people who have dropped their phone in the toilet! Ha!

I agree that I need to be tagged in with my followers. Actually, using my phone allows me to be with my kids, steal a couple of minutes and then get back to what I was doing. I find that integration is the key. Not having it take over! Keep on blogging.

I LOVE my phone. We ride a motorcycle, and I have rigged up a lanyard so it can be nearby…I love to take pictures while we ride….and text, and read facebook, and blog…LOL…So do u think I need to go to I-I (AA)?? Love the infografic…very informative. Popped over from No Minimalist Here Open House.

But as a blogger, I feel that I need to be available for my followers. It is my only job at the moment.

Yes. Great to meet you, too. It was so crazy busy, which I wasn’t expecting. I thought I’d be able to sneak in some down time. Thank goodness I had my phone 😉

Ha! Keep away from those comments! It’ll drive you crazy. But it is nice to be able to write down posts whenever the mood strikes you… although it’s not the easiest on a phone.

]]> By: Sarah @ LeftBrainBuddha https://mommyevolution.com/my-phone-my-self/#comment-10750 https://mommyevolution.com/?p=5999#comment-10750 I have serious addiction issues to my iPhone… I need to be better about leaving it alone to be fully ‘there’ with my kids, but thanks for the reassurance that it actually does create more time for us to be with them because we can be so efficient.

And I totally agree that W/L integration, not balance, is what it’s all about!

So glad I met you this weekend! 🙂

I reckon it’ll certainly take a while for the novelty to wear off! I expect I shall just be more disappointed by virtue of being able to check up on the ‘still no comments’ situation so many more times per day 😉

(But yes. Apps. Shiny!)
