Breaking Free from the Burden of Imaginary Expectations | Jinger Duggar Vuolo (EP04)

How to stay focused when cell phones and parenting meet. Digital minimalism is mostly distraction management. Minimalism, in general, is a path to focus. We are reducing the number of things we do so we can focus on what’s important. In this episode, we talk about how to avoid retreating into our iPhones when parenting, and how to stay focused when using the phone too.
