Read previewThis as-told-to essay is based on a transcribed conversation with Rebecca Cafiero, 44, from Palo Alto, California, about deleting work-related communication apps from her phone.
I was on my phone, and my son, who was six then, wanted me to play a game with him.
I started by setting screen limits and eventually deleted work-related communication apps from my phone.
AdvertisementI used to wake up and check my emails immediately, but I no longer let communication apps control my day.
I've since deleted about a third of the apps I used to have on my phone, as I felt I wasn't even using them.
