Not using a smartphone for a whole week (follow up blog)!!

Okay.. so its now been a week of not using a smartphone and only my flip phone and i would say that it went really well!!

the "hard" parts were really only there during the 1st and second day, i had this notebook were i wrote down my thoughts n things to do with this experiment (but only for like the 1st n 2nd day) and well

i experienced the feeling a few times that i really really wanted to go on my phon when i was doing things like if i was watching grey's for example and that ws a really strange feeling to have cause i was thinking why do i feel the need to go on a device for no real reason its also scary to think that i was thinking that only like an hour into the experiment (cuz i was up late watching grey's)

sometimes when i was wating for somethin like for example when i was gonna play sum Minecraft and the loading screen was loading i immediately reached for my phone (my flip).. now keep in mind the Minecraft loading screen is like what? 1 minute?? i couldn't go 1 minute of WAITING and that is really like really scary to think about

another thing i did was eating my breakfast with no screens whatsoever and only music and one thing i realized is that time was going like REALLY slower when i did this and it felt like it was taking me way longer to eat my breakfast

also i experienced like MAJOR boredom like i was going insane by the boredom and really it was like the first time since forever that i had felt that level of boredom 

but one thing was that most of this week i spent hanging out with a friend and that never really gave me a chance to do much but when i did have that time at home i ended up watching grey's anatomy and that really was a thing that i got bothered by but i really couldn't stop watching because of course i have to be at a really interesting point in the show when i am doing this GREAT 

but hey one accomplishment i made was sitting down and actually picking up a DVD in my collection that i haven't watched (yeah I'm doing this totally unrelated thing where I'm not gonna allow myself to buy more DVDs without watching all of the ones i own) and hey guess who sat the whole movie without pausing and doing something else )(that something else is usually scrolling) SO my attention span is not screwed its just distracted.. good to know...

now overall...

I really did not feel a difference cause not much in my life changed other than that i just didn't use my smartphone.

but one thing i noticed was the fact that i really do only got like 2 friends that regularly text me and the rest i barley speak to or the only form of communication that we have is sending TikTok's to each other and really that was the part that sucked the most about this week that there would go hours or even like a day without getting any message whatsoever cause my friend would be busy with something else (n friend n.2 is out of the country visiting family so she can't SMS me so we have been communicating via Instagram messages on my computer) so i was basically only getting messages from like 1 person during this whole week

now i can most definitely see myself living like this more often but also not and think the also not part has to do with how used to i am with  living with a device that can basically do anything on me like all the time

but hey i ended up not reading at all this week BUT i ended up picking up my sudoku book n doing that from time to time

and also.. i think it kinda went better when i did this last winter but hey maybe it was just the power of the kikis delivery service stickers.. who knows?

uhh cool explosions or something like that uhhhh bye thanks for reading
