Beyond this, he discusses the negative impact of excessive phone and social media use on our mental health and productivity. With his friendly and approachable style, Johan offers tips on how to use your smartphone more mindfully.
If you're looking for a way to reduce your screen time without completely giving up on your favorite apps, this episode is packed with actionable advice and thoughtful insights.
