Over spring break, Andy and I decided to work ahead in this class and thought that spring break would be the perfect time to complete this challenge. We decided to go 24 hours without technology on Sunday, March 9th. The day started out relatively normal, I went to church (without my phone GPS) and cooked myself a nice breakfast. However, towards the afternoon I kept finding myself fighting the urge to reach for my phone and text/call friends. Since I don’t have social media on my phone during the school week, my temptation to look at my social media accounts was pretty much non-existent. To distract myself further, I decided to go on my normal run. I was looking forward to running until I realized that I wouldn’t be able to listen to music! This was a total bummer, so I had to entertain myself with my own thoughts. Later on, I decided to get a lot of homework done that would be due after NTC and spring break was over. Without the use of screens, I found myself being a lot more productive and in-the-moment of what I was doing. I also noticed that my eyes hurt less from the typical blue-light strain they receive. Overall, I would love to start using screens less and be more present in life’s everyday moments.
