It’s sad when your spouse has a closer relationship with his phone than he does with you. At the very least, tell him the practice is disrespectful, rude and hurtful. And if larger issues

are at play, talk it out and possibly seek couples therapy. 4. REDUCE INTERRUPTIONS. The device you’re trying to get your husband to avoid can theoretically help him spend less time with it.

As part of Screen Time and Digital Wellbeing settings, you or he can apply tools that kick in at appropriate moments. iPhones let you choose among custom Focus modes: DO NOT DISTURB,

DRIVING and SLEEP among them, each designed to minimize distractions. You can access these and other Focus modes in ⚙️ Settings or by swiping down from the top right side of the screen to

surface CONTROL CENTER. Selecting REDUCE INTERRUPTIONS limits distractions by creating less busy custom lock screens or home screens. You also can choose to permit only notifications from

select people and apps at given times, though you can enable a setting to let Apple “intelligently” determine important notifications allowed to break through. On an Android device such as a

Google Pixel, enabling Bedtime Mode silences the phone, dims the wallpaper and changes the display to black and white. You get to tell the phone which people and apps can interrupt you with

a message or phone call when you’re winding down or actually asleep. Don’t worry if you set things up so no one can get in touch overnight. Come morning, alarms will sound to wake you all

up. Just don’t keep snoozing. If your husband follows the steps above, I hope that he and the rest of the family will find a balance. For extra validation or goal setting, he can revisit

those stats in Screen Time or Digital Wellbeing and cheer a meaningful increase in time away from his phone. BONUS TIP: TAKE SCREENSHOTS TO PLAN A GETAWAY As you research plans for your

summer vacation or other upcoming travels, you may be taking screenshots on your phone of lodging sites, blogs, social media outlets and news articles. Such shots may be spread out in your

camera roll and not easy to find or organize. A new screenshot list feature added to Google Maps works in conjunction with Google’s Gemini AI to identify places referenced in those

screenshots, which you then can add to a shareable list. Google has just begun rolling out the feature to iOS users, with Android to follow.
