Do you check your phone 144 times a day?

If so, you’re in line with the average American (according to a survey by DemandSage). Not only that, but nearly 90% of us reach for our phones within 10 minutes of waking up, and more than half of us say we’re addicted.

But maybe the tide is turning. kate lindsay recently wrote on her Substack newsletter Embedded that being chronically online is no longer cool and that “our lack of screen time is a new social indicator.”

So how about you – are you less tethered to your phone than in recent years?
