Recently, in a Facebook Live session (every Thursday 12pm PST!), a student posted about a Part 2 topic card that asked him to describe a time he was glad he had his cell phone with him.

This might be hard to think of on the spot, if you put too much pressure on yourself to think of an emergency story.

However, you don’t have to come up with that, necessarily!

The easier way to fluently fill the 2 minutes would just brainstorm about the day before, and think of detailed times you used your phone throughout the day.

Lindsay thought of a fantastic context, when she relied heavily on her phone while she was road-tripping across the country.

The point is to use the first memory/story that accessibly comes to mind.

The fact is, you use your phones all day, every day. Any chronological series of events is a story, and that’s how we fluently fill the 2 minutes!
