Ever opened your phone for 5 minutes and somehow lost an hour?

Scrolling isn't inherently bad, but too much of it can leave us feeling drained, distracted, and disconnected from the things we actually want to do. If you're trying to spend a little less time on your phone this summer, try swapping a scroll session for one of these activities instead.
