Step 2 - Walk Free
The second step couldn’t be easier conceptually:
Stop engaging with your screens while walking.
You are not that busy.
In reality to implement this is much harder than it may seem. I suggest you take this in three sub-steps:
-
Notice when you are using your screen whilst walking.
-
Delibrately pause your walk if you cannot stop yourself engaging with your screen.
-
Finally stop letting your screen control your movements.
To build this as a habit will take multiple weeks. Try and achieve one whole week walking free and your awareness of how much you are being drawn to your screen will dramatically increase.
