A Day Without a Phone

everywhere this past weekend, when given the challenge to leave off off my address for 24 hrs, I didnt believe I could list it. My phone is in all likelihood entangled in almost every activity I do through bulge surface the sidereal day. Weather its winning notes down for my classes or tweeting my latest faineant horizon. It guides me when its dark, tells me when its going to rain, and even notifies me when I part poked on Facebook. I can honestly admit to cosmos one of those the great unwashed who are completely dependent on their phones.Knowing this somewhat myself I had to factor in three distinguished variables what day, what am I going to do, & of course how testament I notify people of my whereab asides Being the weekend and all, its kind of hard not being on the phone making plans for the night. How will I go ab issue organizing a little croak together with the dummy up friends? So I approximation to myself, Friday and Saturday are too important to be out of the loop. I finally made my purpose that sunlight is perfect I mean, who cares about Sunday?Its a day of relaxation so I thought it would be perfect directly I had to plan, what am I going to do. sooner this weekend a friend of mine who was very visiting from Florida had anticipateed me wanting to take care and catch up. Right before bit my phone off late Saturday I gave him a call explaining the situation, he laughed and told me to return pick him up from his aunts at 12 AM and to fair(a) plain get out of my car, walk to the front door, and knock. (Obviously texting a simple here. Would have been simpler).Besides that I thought I would just wing it and play where the day takes me. Now I just had one last issue, I got to underwrite it Knowing myself pretty well, I knew it was a bad idea to have the phone just about me, if I planned to genuinely commit to this. I decided to simply leave it in my mothers possession for safekeeping. With these three issues resolved I m now ready to, sneak to power off. So Sunday arrives. I woke up at around 11AM (kind of late due to the fact I couldnt set the alarm on my phone).I got out of bed rushed out to the kitchen and looked at the oven for the time I speedily proceeded to shower and get ready. At 12AM I arrived at my friends aunts house to pick him up, knocked on the door and he came right out (no big deal after all). We so went to lunch and spent a a couple of(prenominal) hours talking and playing some call of duty on my Xbox. Without noticing, it was almost 6 at night Wow I was impressed. By this time I credibly would have had to plug my phone in for the second charge of the dayNow it was time to go to the gym, I ordinarily use my phone to play medication but I had to bust out my little mp3 from back in the day. At the gym Im seldom on the phone so this hour and a half went by fleetly has well. When I returned home I showered and started preparations to begin on my homework. It being 8PM now I t hought the worse was over So I read my 20 pages of gift and did some of my history assignment and probably finished at around 930PM. At this point of the day I didnt even remember I didnt have my phone pasted to my side.I realize now that having all those imperturbable features and apps on my phone only mends me stem my time and procrastinate on the important things I should be doing. The last few hours till midnight I simply watched a few episodes of The Walking Dead to head teacher the time. It really wasnt much of a challenge after all it was actually very relieving not being involved in any social media and texting passim the day. Perhaps I will make this an event for every Sunday
