24 hours without a phone..
Something I try to do every week is go one full day without my phone, and let me tell you IT IS THE HARDEST THING EVER.
I literally start to feel withdrawal symptoms, and I know that sounds insane but if you have tried it you know what I mean.
Like the first few hours I'm just constantly reaching for my pocket even though I KNOW it's not there. It's actually embarrassing how addicted I am lol
But then something weird happens around the afternoon... I'll be sitting there and actually notice stuff?
Like I saw this dog yesterday and just watched it for a while instead of immediately trying to film it. Didn't even think about posting it.
Anyway I'm curious - has anyone else tried this? How long did you last? What did you do to survive?
And genuinely... do you think we're all just way too dependent on these things or am I being dramatic?
My biggest takeaway fromwhen I step away from the device for a day, or even simply lower my screentime is that I can think SO MUCH more clearly. My memory and focus return, it is really wild.
