Do you have a moment when you realized your phone was getting in the way of what’s important to you?

Every day, I realize this more and more. Whenever I get to the end of the day feeling distracted and overstimulated, I know the phone is likely the culprit.

What attracted you to Aro?

I really love having a solution to the problem. So, we decide we want to be on our phones less, great. But how do we do that? I also really love that it provides evidence of the benefits of time away from phones. That time is much better spent somewhere else.

What is the greatest piece of advice you have ever received?

Make your children realize their siblings are their best friends. Remind them over and over again of the gift of a built-in best friend and that those are the people who will be with them 25 years from now.

What’s your favorite book?

I'm hoping Aro will help me better answer this question. I generally enjoy light, easy reads.

What are some of your favorite activities to do when you do put down your phone?

Playing tennis and exercising, being outside with my children, spending time with neighbors, preparing food for my family, chatting with friends, and just enjoying some quiet time.
