today i met up with a friend for lunch and coffee in my neighborhood and i told him beforehand i’d be showing up without a phone and i said when and where i’ll meet him. i left my apartment with nothing but my keys and credit card. we spent 3 hours yapping with no phones in sight (except when i asked him to google some statistical facts we had to check which were pertinent to the conversation). it was fucking awesome i felt so free i didn’t even WANT this god damn device on me. it usually just stresses me out when i have my phone on me because i end up constantly checking if it’s still in my pocket in case it’s been stolen or something... but i was free today… to be in the sun… zero technology… highly recommend…

recent mental health booster I stumbled onto when my phone ended up dead one morning, so I went to a cafe near me to journal/read for a couple hours without it. there were so many times I phantom reached for my it like the addict I am, very glad I couldn’t that day or else stupid things would have been done. I was forced to sit in the moment and process my thoughts without being able to actively do anything or contact anyone. did it the next day purposely and I had such a good day.
leave your phone at home sometimes when you’re bumming around your area doing small errands! also forces you to learn your surroundings rather than relying on google maps.

i once broke my phone and due to unforeseen circumstances I wasn’t able to get a new one for a couple weeks so I was forced to take time without it, and to be honest, it was beautiful! its nice to say “ah my phone wasn’t on me / my phone was broken so I couldn’t respond.“
since then I’ve done some time intentionally leaving my phone at home when I leave to have a bit of solace and experience the world around me for a moment without needing headphones in or checking notifications constantly. great stuff!!

wear your shoes till the soles come off. you don’t need a new shirt. STOP mindlessly consuming things!!! enough!!! go sit outside for 10 minutes and think about if you are actually lacking anything material in your life (you’re probably not). if you do need new things have a thing-exchange with your friends it’s so fun! stop falling victim to overconsumption
