    In this conversation with coach and author Dr. Amy Wood, we explore the idea of doing a “technology edit”—a practical way to take control of your devices instead of letting them run your day. Dr. Wood shares strategies for setting boundaries around screen time, organizing your digital spaces, and using technology more intentionally. You’ll come away with simple, realistic tools to reclaim your time, protect your energy, and make tech work for you rather than against you.
