I am a slave to my iPhone. I spend the last hours of my day on it and the very first waking minutes on it. I check it 100+ times a day. I use my phone to satisfy every single whim or fancy that crosses my mind.
“I wonder what that costs on Amazon?”
“I wonder what other shows she’s in?”
“I wonder if I can get some new camera straps?”
“Did I send that email before leaving work today?”
Instant gratification has become an expectation for me. I’ve been trained to satiate every single want that comes into contact with my brain.
Yesterday after work, I went to the store and purchased a flip phone for $30. It is limited, to say the least. I have texting, calling, and a simple Google Maps feature.
I raw-dogged going to sleep last night with no phone, iPad, or TV—and I physically got itchy. I feel like a drug addict.
For the next month, I will keep my iPhone and iPads stowed away and will only access the internet through a standard laptop or desktop terminal.
I’ll log my progress here.
I no longer want to be a slave.
