Over the last year, we ve collectively spent an absolutely wild amount of time on our phones. From doom-scrolling on Twitter to getting hooked on dance trends on TikTok, it seemed like all of humanity looked at their phones as a lifeline to the outside world. But now, it s time to put down the device, look up, and see what s around you once again. You might even be handsomely rewarded for reducing screen time over the next few weeks.
In April 2020, the average Android user spent 27% of their daily waking hours on mobile, up 20% from 2019.

Need an incentive? Those who take part in Club Wyndham s challenge could get discounts on their next vacation if they can stay off their phones for just a few minutes a day.

In New England, we lived in the lowlands, within driving distance of two spectacular mountain ranges: the White Mountains of New Hampshire and the Green Mountains of Vermont. Whenever possible, we enjoyed spending time amongst the mountain peaks: picnicking along a mountain stream, swimming in a cold and clear mountain lake, skiing down the mountain slopes, admiring the magnificent fall foliage, and hiking up a mountain side.
On two occasions, we rode to the top of Mount Washington, the highest peak in New Hampshire, which holds the record for the highest measured wind speed. During our summer trip, we could clearly see the Presidential Range and managed a glimpse of the Atlantic Ocean. On our winter trip, the rolling white hills stretched for miles, and standing up on the icy slopes was almost impossible.
