There are loads of features that help report your screen time, but just like knowing how often you exceed volume recommendations, knowledge isn’t really enough. Here are some tips from Redditors about how to reduce the amount of time you spend on your phone, none of which involve downloading more apps.

It happens all too often: You do some light renovation or some unexpected repair work that requires you to replace just a section of drywall, or your wall gets stained or scuffed in some way that requires a few coats of paint. You don’t have any paint left from the original job, but maybe you still have a record of…

Messaging apps like Telegram and WhatsApp are regularly updated with new features, but Apple’s Messages app gets major updates only once a year, when the new version of iOS comes out. Luckily, this year’s update is a big one: With the launch of iOS 16, we can finally edit and undo sent messages, two features which…

In class and in meetings, note-taking is important. You want to be able to review what was said, commit it to memory, and use it going forward, whether on tests or in your job. It sounds easy, but can be pretty hard. Think of all the times you’ve looked back on your notes only to find they’re filled with …

My three children were each difficult to get to sleep, for different reasons. One would never fall asleep in a crib, only with a parent. The others fell asleep more easily, but if you were holding them at the time, good luck getting them into bed without waking them up. Now, a group of scientists has tested a…

Even though we’ve made strides in the fight against mental health stigma, it can still be a struggle for people to get the help they need when it comes to depression and anxiety. Part of that is because of the lack of mental health literacy in the U.S. A 2021 study that analyzed this topic during the first year of the…

Fried foods are comfort foods. But holding onto that just-fried crunch is a precarious dance of wicking off oil and allowing the food to cool on a rack without steaming itself soggy before dinnertime. The conventional method is to use half a roll of paper towels to absorb excess oil, but what if your roll just ran…

The more you walk, the lower your risk of all-cause and cancer mortality, according to a new study, with the benefits leveling out once you reach 10,000 steps per day. So clearly, that is the number of steps to aim for—or is it?

If your patio is looking the worse for wear, or if you just want a new look, you can stain concrete floors to give them new life. Using stain on concrete has the added bonus of allowing the surface to breathe, preventing moisture buildup that can cause cracking and other damage, while still freshening it up. The…

When it comes to the Apple Watch, “all-day battery life” is Apple’s party line—but what that really means is an 18-hour battery cycle. If you want to push it over a day, you need to stick to light use (and not wear it to bed). But now, with watchOS 9, Apple is introducing a new “Low Power Mode” to the watch for the…

Born from Carlo Collodi’s 1883 novel, Pinocchio is both an easy pop-culture reference point, as well as the star of any number of movies and TV cartoons. The 1940 Disney animated version is certainly the best known and best loved, but the lying little puppet is having quite a year, seeing no fewer than three…

One of the most pressing questions when Apple reveals a new iPhone is: What’s the battery like? Apple doesn’t normally share granular battery specs, so it can be hard to judge battery life without hands-on testing, especially since the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max’s new Always-On displays raise even more questions about…

Brazil is home to many wonderful things, not least of which is the brigadeiro. Constructed almost entirely of sweetened condensed milk, the mixture is cooked until thick, and can easily be portioned into acorn-sized balls and covered with sprinkles. They’re a delicious, sweet treat, and their story could end there.…

My daughter discovered her love of painting on the first day of kindergarten. She came home with several large masterpieces. She installed them on her bedroom wall using non-paint safe tape and declared the exhibit, “Art-tastic!” We were so proud (and had to later repaint the whole room when we moved). Her love has…

With cooler weather on its way, harvesting and cleaning up your garden beds should be on your fall agenda. While your garden might not be actively producing over the winter, there’s still plenty to do now to make next season more successful. Taking some time to properly prepare for the garden’s dormant season will…

When it comes to sweeteners, I like sugar (unless we are talking soda, in which case I like aspartame in Diet Coke and Diet Dr. Pepper only). Something about growing up in the “health” food-obsessed 90s put me off alternative sweeteners, especially honey, but only in sweet applications. I do not like it in baked goods…
