Isn't it
mad enough to take a decision to live a day without a cell phone?
One fine
day, I decided not to touch my mobile for 24 hours. To be precise sunrise to
sunrise.
So
thinking of prerequisites initially I informed my decision to my regular
callers. Else they might think something has happened to me.
The second one, I need to place the phone in a place where I couldn't find it. I gave
this responsibility to my husband.
Bought an
alarm clock for the big day.
4.00am
Beep..beep...
Tried to
snooze the sound. But couldn't!!
Got up at
4.10am
With a
mobile phone, I would have woken up at 430am
All my
chores are happening silently.
No relaxing
calm music.
Want to
capture my little ones naughty moments... No phone!
Need to
book a cab... No phone! (Took an auto)
Wanted to
write something...No phone!!! (Note pad and pen)
Wanted to
share news... No Phone!! (I was waiting until my husband comes back home)
Bored...
No phone! (Encouraged creative box in my mind)
Want to
know what's going on with friends Instagram profile..No phone!
Pay the
bill..No phone!! (Used a laptop)
Transfer
money..No phone! (Cash!!)
Wanted to
listen to music/audiobooks... NO way!!
Wanted to
search a recipe... No phone! (Pity my husband. He ate my own recipe)
I was
surprised by what my phone has replaced.
An alarm clock,
a radio, television, visiting cards, video games, camera,
notepad, pen and paper. Almost 70%of my life depends upon cell
phone. What a pity!!
Today
I realised how badly I missed the "paper and pen feel"
And also
I found so much Time which I didn't get when I
used the phone.
I slept
peacefully.
I read
books by enjoying the touch and smell of paper.
Calmness
and boring time turned to peaceful and productive time.
Nobody
knows my updates. The best thing happened to an introvert like me.
Finally,
I came to know what to do without a cell phone !!
Also realised many life-saving apps are installed in it. I need to use a cell phone consciously.
P.S: The next day I installed an app called "YourHour" from Playstore, which helped me a lot in digital detoxification.
