    What is it today and throwing my phone across the room? I’ve read that just now in another post. Its gona break, so i aint doing it.

    Yes it is metaphorical. But a metaphor that makes people defensive isnt that great?

    Thanks for the long message knstructing me on getting my life together. Perhaps I will even act on it, at some point.

      What I really mean is just putting it out of arm’s reach. So if you sit down to take a break, put it somewhere where you can’t pick it up. Personally, I have literally tossed my phone out of arms reach several times when I found myself dead tired but still doom scrolling.

      Perhaps I will even act on it, at some point.

      I recommend not looking at it as a giant task, but as something you can gradually do, little by little. If you can do a little tiny something right now, even if it is the smallest, most seemingly worthless action, you have at least started.
