I need some advice on cutting down my phone time around the kids (2yo and 4yo). I feel so guilty because I catch them staring at me while I’m scrolling. I’m just trying to keep up with work-related stuff or take a tiny break, but I'm definitely scrolling too much. What do y'all do to keep from picking up your phones all the time?

Try setting limits on apps. Greyscale. Putting the phone on a shelf. Etc. scrolling is designed to be addictive, you have to find ways to make it less rewarding or less of an automatic habit. Btw I’m in the same boat

Literally not bringing it in the room with me helps. If it’s something truly urgent they will call me and I will hear it

Trying to do the same. I have an Apple Watch with notifications so only pull out my phone if it’s urgent. I batch reply to non-urgent messages and emails when I’m not with the kids. My phone stays in my pocket 90% of the time.

Delete all social media apps from your phone.

Get a real watch and use that to tell time

What’s the symbol that you can type in a cell so you can input a text, but that text would not appear in the spreadsheet? I want to describe the formula without using a text box, which uses more space.

The equivalent of this is in SQL, you can use the apostrophe in the beginning of and end of a text. That text will not affect the function of the query, but that text can be seen if you proofread the query.

I have family members who are inside claims reps for a large company. The company sends out emails 4 times/day showing who is currently not available for calls. To everyone working in claims in the entire country! It’s been a minute since I worked in claims. And never for this particular company. But is this shaming the new way to manage WFH.? Sounds at least toxic.

I lived in tampa in my early 20s and am now in my late 30s and looking to move back. One of the reason I left is because I felt I had too much energy for the city for a single young professional, but now husband is from there and we have a kid but we are both social people. Do you guys find it easy to meet interesting people and has the city gotten any more fun?
