    How to Replace Phone Time with Play Time

    Announcing a new podcast episode: an interview with a friend and colleague of mine (and fellow author and Substacker!), Katherine Johnson Martinko. Katherine and I first met several years ago when she asked me to blurb her book, Childhood Unplugged, and—after quickly falling in love with the book—I realized that we share more than just a first name: She and her husband are committed to raising their kids (they have three sons) with an abundance of real-world experiences and opportunities for free play—and a minimum of screens.Sometime last fall Katherine joined me for a conversation about phone time, play time, technology, boredom, and hamsters (yes, hamsters) and I’m thrilled to finally be sharing it with you. “When you take away the screens, you are opening your child to the world.”—Katherine Martinko Sign up for Katherine's Substack newsletter at katherinemartinko.substack.com This is a public episode.

    Phone Breakup Week 3: Dan Harris and Catherine Price on meditation, attention, and phone-induced anxiety

    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit catherineprice.substack.com Thank you to everyone who tuned in to my Substack live today with meditation expert, 10% Happier host, and former Good Morning America and Nightline anchor, Dan Harris! As most of you know, I’m in the midst of hosting a February Phone Breakup Challenge, which is a chance for readers to go through the 30-day plan from my book, How to Break Up With Your Phone, with other people. This week of the breakup is all about how we can rebuild our phone-atrophied attention spans, and I thought Dan would be the perfect guest for my first-ever Substack live. Turns out I was right! I had a great time talking with Dan about phone-induced anxiety, our atrophied attention spans, and how mindfulness and meditation can help with both. (We also talked about what mindfulness and meditation actually are.) We then did a 5-minute live meditation together (it starts around minute 20), which was a wonderful, grounding break in my own day—and which I hope gave some of you a firsthand taste of what mindfulness meditation is all about. (Pro tip: if you notice that you’re getting distracted, you’re suceeding.) Check out the preview above to hear the first part of our conversation, and become a paid subscriber to hear the full conversation and do the meditation with us. Also, as a reminder, Dan hosts regular live meditations over on his own Substack (and shares special insights from his podcast, 10% Happier) — so if you haven’t already, I encourage you to head on over and become a subscriber: DanHarris.com To scrolling less, living more, and finding moments of calm amidst the chaos, Catherine Price

    The Feb Phone Breakup Challenge Starts Monday!

    Friends: Today’s newsletter is a quick reminder that Monday is the official start of the February phone breakup challenge—your chance to go through the 30-day phone breakup plan in How to Break Up With Your Phone with other people. As a reminder, “breaking up” with your phone doesn’t mean dumping it completely (unless you want to!). It means creating better boundaries with your smartphone and a relationship with technology that feels healthy. I don’t know about all of you, but given the chaos of the world right now, this is something I personally really need to work on, too. The challenge will officially begin on Monday, February 3rd and will culminate in an invitation to join the “How to Feel Alive” community in participating in the Global Day of Unplugging, which is March 7-8. The goal is to end the challenge with a new relationship with your phone that feels good. How do I participate? First, get a copy of the revised edition of How to Break Up With Your Phone, which will be officially released next Tuesday, Feb 4th— it contains the 30-day plan that we will be following. (You can pre-order the print and audiobook now; the ebook will be released on February 4th.) Next, choose your subscription level: * All subscribers (paid and free) will receive a substack newsletter from me each Monday featuring high-level advice and suggestions based on that week of the book’s 30-day plan. * Paid subscribers will have access to a private “phone breakup support group chat” on Substack where they can interact with each other (and me!), provide accountability, ask questions, and share experiences, resources and advice. Invite People to Join You Lastly, I recommend recruiting a few friends or family members to join you (phone breakups are always more fun and more effective with other people). Simply share this newsletter and tell them to subscribe and order a copy of the book. I’m in! How do I join the chat? I just posted our first pre-game prompt, with instructions for what to do before we officially begin on Monday. You can hop in any time (and I’ll be back myself next week!): NOTE: Substack’s Chat is separate from the comments section below each post. It is a different space where we can post about our experiences, share resources, ask each other questions, and give each other support. It is exclusively for paying “How to Feel Alive” members. More questions? Check out the FAQ. For more instructions on how to use Substack’s chat feature—and for general questions about the challenge—please check out my FAQ post, which has detailed instructions for how to participate via both desktop (recommended, given our goal!) or the mobile app. Thanks in advance for your patience as I figure this all out—this is an experiment for me, too!
