Having just upgraded to iOS 12, I can test this idea of using the built-in Screen Time feature to self police one’s iPhone usage.

We don’t need more teachers, we need more practitioners, and importantly, we need more journalists of the inner landscape, and more spiritual friends, companions and guides.
Oh, this! So much this.
Seth Godin reminds us how natural and, perhaps, important it is to reach almost no one.

For those good-faith people, I present some guidelines for staying on the good side of that admittedly murky line, along with the reasoning why the actions I list are problematic.
I found this post helpful.

Broken As A Feature
One of the reasons I wait a while before upgrading to the latest OS is one never seems to account for it going wrong. Yesterday, in what I was hoping would be a quick iPhone SE update (finally) to iOS 12, turned out to be a process that essentially bricked it 3 times and left me without a phone for the day. I knew it would not be until this morning that I had the time to troubleshoot my way to a solution (which I did).
Now, those who have followed me for a while know that not having the phone is not necessarily a problem for me. We had a full day of activity yesterday. I led some rigger training, we had dinner with friends, we went out late at night to try to find the Northern Lights. Not only did I not need my phone for any of these things it may have been a distraction if I had it so I was better off without it.
Sometimes, broken can be a feature.
