How would you describe your relationship with your phone over the course of a normal day?

A natural way to answer

I'd say I rely on it quite a lot, mainly for messages, maps, and music. I do try to set limits, like not using it during meals, but it's an ongoing effort to keep it in check.

Key phrases to use

• mindlessly scrolling — swiping through a phone screen without thinking or any real purpose“I caught myself mindlessly scrolling instead of working.”
• get a grip on — to gain control over something that has been getting out of hand“I need to get a grip on my spending.”
