Episode 28: Giving up Killing Time with Screen Time

The Station Wagon Podcast: Exploring Mindfulness and Sibling Rivalry

We explored the history and science of screen-time and then tried giving it up for two weeks.What's that mean? We gave up using our cellphones and other mobile devices to fill those unanticipated boring times we all have day-to-day. Some say this exercise is supposed to help a person be more mindful of their surroundings and contribute to relationship building. Spoiler -- Marc loves his cell phone. "If you leave your cell phone at home, you feel impacted by not having it. It's an important part of your daily function and what you can do in a day." - Aimee Mullins We couldn't agree more (at least Marc couldn't).
