When my phone vibrates, I try to wait. I try not to stop what I’m doing to pick it up immediately. But I want to, I have to admit. I want to see what’s popped up on the screen, especially if it’s someone texting me. I want to respond right away, but I make myself wait.

Like a high-functioning addict with a high to look forward to, I make myself finish my work before I pick up my phone.
