The Right and Wrong Times to be on Your Phone
This CarSmart is all about phone etiquette. We all use our phones AND we all know that we use them way too much. They’re just super convenient. But do you ever get annoyed when you’re trying to have a conversation with someone and their attention is on their phone and not you? Or, have you been caught guilty of this yourself? Most likely. In this episode you’ll learn the steps you can take to assure your phone won’t get in the way of your important relationships.
As you may already know, my husband Bret and I run most of our business from our phones. For the longest time, I would get really frustrated and annoyed when Bret would be on his phone as I tried to converse with him. But then I realized, I would do the same thing to him too. Eventually, we decided to have a serious conversation about how we could approach our relationship with each other considering the interference of our phones. In this podcast, I will talk about some of the ground rules with our cell-phone usage that we established from that conversation.
