What happened when I did a 30-day digital declutter
It’s not hard to find a distraction if you want one. If I’m procrastinating, my go-tos are email, Facebook, and YouTube cleaning videos (yes, they’re a real thing, and they’re surprisingly satisfying to watch). And then there’s my phone. When I saw my first Screen Time report, I learned that I pick up my phone every 37 minutes. This was eye-opening. Some of the reasons were valid, such as phone calls for work and texts from my family. But the majority of my time was spent on tasks that were simply out of boredom, like Free Cell and Facebook.

30-hour free childcare chaos: how to claim your compensation
The Government has launched a compensation scheme for parents blocked from using its flagship childcare programme following prolonged IT problems. It is a year since parents were given an extra 15 hours of free childcare, taking the total to 30, but the system has been dogged by technical issues and claims by nurseries the scheme left them struggling to break even. Last year it was revealed nurseries were closing because the rate the Government offers is 39p an hour below the actual cost of childcare. Technical issues with the official website means some families were unable to take up a 30-hours free childcare place or were forced to pay for childcare that should have been free.
