Enjoy Your Family Time
By Taking a Break From Your Phone
Setting some time aside to be with family is important, but it can be difficult when everyone is always on their cellphones. Constant cellphone use has become a global problem, and the habit is hard to break because we rely on mobile devices heavily for work, school, and keeping in contact with friends and family. Luckily, there are plenty of apps that can reduce how often you’re on your phone and minimize distractions. SIEMPO After you install Siempo on your phone, it will ask which apps are likely to distract you. Once you select them, the app will move those apps away from the home screen and place the important ones, such as the messaging,
because you won’t have access to those specific apps until the timer runs out.
FOREST In the time that Forest takes control of your device for a set time limit, the app starts growing a tree. Once the tree is fully grown, your time is up, and it joins the other trees that were grown during other breaks. If you pick up your phone and try to access an app, Forest will send you a notification asking you if you want to kill your baby tree by giving up. Who says guilt isn’t a good motivator? BESIDES APPS Aside from using these apps, silencing your phone and putting it in another room, leaving it in your car if you’re out at dinner, or keeping it in your purse or back pocket during a social event can also reduce your screen time. Having your phone out of sight and out of reach will keep the temptation of pulling it out at bay. Spending time with your family is crucial, and with these apps and tips, you’ll enjoy each other’s company without too many screen distractions.
contacts, email, and calendar apps, on the first screen. You can also designate times for specific apps to be used throughout the day. STAY FOCUSED Stay Focused is like Siempo, but there are some significant differences. You can set times to access certain apps and put the most distracting ones on lock. Stay Focused also has a “strict mode” that prevents you from uninstalling it, so be sure to think carefully before activating the lockdown

Grilled Beef Ribs
Inspired by Saveur Magazine
Throughout his professional career, Dellutri Law Group attorney, David W. Fineman, has always wanted to help people. Before David, a Southwest Florida native, started practicing law, he was a deputy for the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office and an officer for Punta Gorda Police Department. “Originally, I wanted to go into law enforcement and went to law school so I could join the FBI,” David said. “But after my first year of law school, my
Nothing feels more paleo-appropriate than digging into a giant rack of beef ribs. This largely hands-off recipe requires plenty of hands- on eating, making you feel like one of our cave-dwelling ancestors.

desires changed. I wanted to use the knowledge I was acquiring in the community by practicing law in the courtroom. So, I traded in my badge and gun for a suit and pen.” About his commitment to clients, he says: “Helping people is my No. 1 pride point. When clients get to move on from bankruptcy or another situation and are in a better place, it makes everything worth it. At the end of the day, I hope I make their experience with us good during such a hard time.” No matter what, David gives his clients the best he can. And he tries to put a positive spin on every interaction. He’s thorough and empathetic, and there’s no better kind of person to help our clients. Now, when David isn’t working with clients, he loves being on the water and taking part in the other outdoor activities Florida has to offer.
Directions 1. Heat a charcoal, wood-burning, or gas grill to medium-high. Once heated, move heat source to one side or turn off half of the burners to create an indirect heat zone. 2. Season ribs with salt and pepper and char on the hotter side of the grill, turning occasionally, for 12–15 minutes. Once charred, transfer to the other side of grill and cook until the thickest part of the rib reaches 130 F, about 2 1/2–3 hours. 3. Let meat rest for 15 minutes. If desired, serve alongside grilled veggies.
