Step Away From
The Screen
HI THERE. So nice of you to join me. Now that you’re here,
there’s something I’d like to discuss. While I don’t want
you to put down this issue of Huffington, I imagine that if
you’re anything like me and most people I know, you probably spend a tad too much time staring at screens. Agree?
Then take a look at these apps to get you off your gadgets.

The app aims to get you
“lost in familiar places”
with a whimsical set of
instructions: Walk west,
find broken things and so
on. Discover a place by
getting lost in it.
Stitcher is the Pandora
equivalent for podcasts
and radio: create your
own stations from a
range of sources so you
can listen to your phone
instead of looking at it.
This bad habitbreaker uses positive
reinforcement to make
you behave. Lift lets you
set goals and will remind
you to do things that
don’t involve your phone.

DRAGON DICTATION
Stop and ID the roses.
I know you’ll be hiking
with your phone one
way or another, so might
as well make use of
it to appreciate your
surroundings.
You could answer email.
Or you could drop by a
meditation group and
learn to skateboard
thanks to Meetup, which
tells you about events
taking place near you.
Those without the latest
in iDevices can enjoy
one of their perks. This
voice recognition app
lets you talk rather than
type so you can stop
bumping into things.
