Every time I'm waiting l, I auto-pull my phone out to fill the space. Sometimes I realize what I'm doing and am blown away at how hard it is to just NOT look at my phone when there is nothing else to do. Those circuits are deep!
This does resonate today! I’ve recently had a difficult medical diagnosis and have been pretty (and I think wisely) permissive with myself in terms of distraction. however, I’ve been realizing it’s going too far. I need to cull a bit of the digital dopamine to face what I’m dealing with in a way that will, in the end, suit me much better. So thanks for a timely reminder. :)

I completely agree - discomfort is where the magic happens
