I had a similar feeling when I removed all social media apps and games from my smart phone.
Whenever there's a lull in activity (like waiting for a bus, at the doctor's office, etc) I used to mindlessly swipe and scroll away. Now I pay more attention to the physical world around me (the bus stop has a map, what kind of magazines does the doctor like, etc)
But I wonder if the author could get the same benefit by cancelling her mobile data plan.
- Broken_Hippo 8y agoSee, I'm OK bringing a book or sketchbook to the doctors office. I'm also fine with mindlessly playing a game. This sort of thing keeps me from getting irritated while waiting in a place like a doctor's office. It makes me a more agreeable person overall. The bus stop isn't as bad - they have a schedule and are usually on-time. There is only so often I can stand to look at a bus stop map, after all. That novelty wears off after using buses as primary transportation.
