I just spend SO MUCH TIME in the tub if I let myself. And you're right – the shower wouldn't allow me to look on my phone or Kindle. I'm going to give it a try!

Last night I read it, put my iPad down, and got in the bathtub. Afterward I crawled into bed, drank some tea and listened to a meditation podcast that lulled me to sleep. When I woke up this morning at 5am I felt refreshed and well rested. I needed that!

My husband and I made it our "family rule" to have technology free nights two to three nights a week. We even keep the TV off then. It has really helped us refocus our relationship and get us ready for the upcoming days. It's a game changer 🙂

It has seriously made my mornings so much less stressful! And I'm guilty of attempting a relaxing bath but bringing my phone along with a book too- then ignoring the book.

I have gotten in the habit of leaving my phone in another room at night. Not really on purpose, but if I leave it in the kitchen and sit on the couch, I don't necessarily get up to grab it. Even not having the temptation to read twitter for the duration of one show makes me feel more relaxed. I don't want to give it up completely but some time away is nice!
