Great piece Susanna! We were just talking about this at home after recently seeing Johann Hari on Bill Maher. I can relate to almost everything you wrote concerning the distraction of social media. As a musician, my time is best spend with my instrument, not with my smartphone. I probably don't need to tell you which of those is winning most of my attention these days. But I appreciate that I am not alone and what they say about the first step to making changes in yourself is recognizing that you have a problem. That sounds more dramatic than it is... after all it's not a chemical addiction, but important nonetheless. Congratulations on your new adventure, I always look forward to reading your pieces.

I've read that the greatest gift we can give to another person is our time. Your gift to us was your time in writing your post. Thank you
