#13Not just your phone. Don't read books or magazines or do other things. Get in, take your dump, be done in max 6mins, get up. Don't strain.

You want to train kids from a young age not to spend a long time on the toilet, which reading encourages. It consistently leads to hemorrhoids. That's just a fact.
