I went to a week long workshop on a farm. Part of the workshop was a ban on all electronics.
Initially it was really uncomfortable not having my phone but after 3 days I got used to it. It was incredible. I started doing things like waking up and drinking a coffee while just looking at the scenery. I actually did nothing and got calm peace.
At the end of the end of the week, I found almost nothing important in the hundreds of missed notifications I had.
It was a really interesting experience. I now try to leave my phone on a charger in another room when I'm home.
- denkmoon 4y agoMaybe try just having notifications for things that _are_ important? If you've got "hundreds" of missed notifications after a week, you're clearly not vetting those notifications at the source. Or better yet, just disable notifications. Our phones are a great tool, and we don't have to be a slave to them, nor do we have to get rid of them entirely to free ourselves from being slaves to them.
