💭 One Thing We’re Thinking About

Everyone I know has a complicated relationship with their phone. The average American spends around 7 hours staring into their phone every day. Yikes!

But also we have to live with our phones… and I love my phone! A little too much sometimes, which is maybe why I’ve thought a lot about how to make it work better for me. Because tbh, am I using it or is it using me???

This week on the blog, Anna shares (literally — with screenshots) how she organizes her phone to make it less addictive.

🤩 This issue of Internet People is sponsored by The Seamless Coach

Many of us have had the experience of looking around our workplace and saying… is this it? Is this really where I belong?

What we value in a role and work environment can change over time, and we’re not just talking about the PTO and snacks — Are you free to really be yourself? To make your own decisions? To get creative and take risks?

The Workplace Values Mini-Course is a great tool to help you make sure you’re in the right place… or not 👀

Kelsea designed this mini-course after working with hundreds of clients and tracking their values through her deep-dive process.

The Workplace Values Mini-Course can help you:

🤺 Protect yourself from burnout

🪷 Clarify your values for greater wellbeing, flow, and engagement

⭐️ Make better decisions to reach your long-term career goals
