We love our phones, but how much is too much? While you may need your device for work and keeping in touch with your family, you don't need to be checking it every minute when you should be sleeping. Fortunately, Apple and Android have options to limit your screen time, along with settings for individual apps.

Dottie from Boston, Massachusetts loves to go on long walks with her partner. Unfortunately, that means she sometimes loses her phone while enjoying the scenery. She asked me for the best app for tracking down her lost Android.

I suggested Google Find My Device. By installing this app on a trusted person’s phone, you can use Google Maps to find your way back to your lost Android. You can even secure the device to make sure strangers aren’t sneaking through your secrets.

Even better, you can add a message for anyone who finds your phone, letting them know where to find you. In a worst-case scenario, you can even erase the device. (Hopefully, you’ll find it before you start considering that, though.)

Download the app here for Android.

I didn't forget about you, iPhone owners. Here's how to find your lost device.

You know what’s not fair? Netflix hides thousands of shows and movies from you based on your location and then has the nerve to increase prices yet again. Make sure you’re getting your full money’s worth by using ExpressVPN. 

What’s on Netflix in the U.S. is completely different from what someone in the U.K. or Japan has on theirs. ExpressVPN has over 90 countries to choose from, so every time you run out of stuff to watch, just switch to another country to unlock new shows.

Stop paying full-price for streaming services and only getting access to a fraction of their content.

Argh, the frustration of losing your phone. If you're lucky, it's buried in the couch cushions or in some weird spot you don't remember setting it down.

Fun fact: Google processes around 40,000 searches every second. That's about 3.5 billion searches per day. When you're looking for something, you want to get to it fast. That's why you need to know a few tricks of the trade to narrow things down and get more out of Google.

A bicycle is seemingly one of the most basic contraptions. You pedal to move and turn the handlebars in the direction you want to travel.

This bike shows how our brains automatically know something about bike riding that you wouldn't have imagined.
