New EEDA Pod episode this week! Scroll Less, Live More: Being Intentional with Tech Use

Patricia and Nicole discuss their ongoing efforts to reduce smartphone usage, sharing personal experiences, research findings, and practical tips for being more intentional with technology. They reflect on the challenges of breaking phone habits, the psychological effects of constant connectivity, and the importance of adding "friction" to limit mindless scrolling.
