I lasted two days. The detox was more difficult to tolerate than I had
expected. I felt like I had lost an arm! Not eating for two days would have
been easier! But on reflection, I can see how much of my time had been occupied with checking my phone. I’m now trying to spend less time online and more time picking up my hobbies.

phones, we had a proper conversation for over two hours, without being distracted by messages from other people. It felt so good! Then I decided to visit a different friend every day. By the fifth day, I wondered – was I really missing out by not constantly checking my phone to see what everyone else was up to
miss out: to lose an opportunity to do or have something
hadn’t been missing out on anything
