Warning: I don’t follow phone usage rules.

I don’t feel guilt for scrolling or playing games on my smart phone. I use my phone when I’m out to eat with my husband, he does too. We sit on couch, next to each other, on our phones. This may not work for everyone, but we’ve discussed this & we don’t mind this.

I’m old(er) & I don’t succumb to too many “rules” of what’s appropriate when it comes to phone usage but I do what I want, when I want.

That being said, here’s a bit of my morning routine when it comes to phone games – I wake up at 5:30 am, Monday to Friday–start the coffee, feed the cat, take my vitamins, then I settle down & from 5:50 am to 6:25 am, I don’t write down what I’m grateful for, I don’t read Bible passages (no offense to those who do, I admire you), I don’t do 30 minutes of stretching…nope, I play 4 games on my phone every morning! Then my brain wakes up (a bit) & I feel ready to get moving (a bit). Note – this website is not for overachievers, but for those of us who want to feel ok & not guilty about things that a lot of people tell us are bad.

So, to not keep you waiting any longer, the 4 games I play are:

Wordzee (daily puzzle)

AARP app has many games. I do the Daily word search that comes with a daily fun fact that the puzzle is based on (some learning here!)

Zen Match daily puzzle

Wordle

Then a sip of coffee & jump in shower.

That’s my morning ritual. Will it change someday? Perhaps. However, for now this works for me & makes me happy.
