Phone Palmistry Guide

TRY IT YOURSELF!

With a friend sit quietly and exchange phones. 

One person is the "medium" and the other person is the "subject"

SUBJECT RULES:

  • Make a vow to not speak while you're being 'read'.

  • Open yourself to anything that you hear.

  • Be willing to stay present with each moment.

  • Avoid judging yourself.

READER RULES:

  • Take a moment to observe the phone. Examine it as if you're a scientist searching for answers about human life.

  • Open yourself to how YOU would use THIS phone.

  • Now imagine what life must be life for the subject.

  • Share your feelings about the phone and the life you picture.

OBSERVATION AREAS:

  • What kind of case is on the phone

  • Is there a screen protector

  • Does the phone had a passcode, 4 or 6 digits?

  • Is there a lock wallpaper, does it match the home screen wallpaper.

  • What is the battery level, is a percent shown?

  • Does the subject use folders, fill every screen, what does their phone tell you about their life?

  • What order are the applications in?

  • What types of applications are being used?

This screen is an accurate way of measuring how you use your phone. It's also great for making sure you're using your phone in a way that aligns with your values.

Are you spending all your time on work emails? Social media? Educating yourself?

There is no right or wrong answer. It's about what type of tool you want your phone to be for your lifestyle and stated goals.

Be sure to evaluate the last 7 days instead of the last 24 hours, as that is a more representative look at the way you use your phone.

Frequently Used Emoji

While not everyone uses emoji our phones watch our word usage and makes emoji's available to us. This means if your an emoji fan or just a casual observer, you are your emoji. Look at the frequently used emoji on your phone to determine what types of things your phone things you're talking about!

Battery Usage

BONUS: Apple Watch

What do your apple watch screens say about you? Are there ways you can slow yourself down or have a better relationship with time by using different screens?
