#236 Have a cell phone-free day
Is there actually someone who remembers when there weren’t ANY cell phones?
There are days when I don’t have my cell phone in my right pocket. Those days I get phantom vibrations in my thigh. I put my hand into my pocket but the phone isn’t there. I start to wonder if anyone’s tried to call or text me. The feeling stays with me for a few minutes. Then it passes. Like abstinence. It get easier after the first big hill. After an hour I don’t miss the phone at all anymore. After two hours, I think it's nice. After three hours my shoulders and neck relax. After four hours I feel wonderful.
Required time:
1 day or less
Cost:
Free
Cons:
If some kind of emergency would arise people can’t get hold of you. Then they’ll have to leave a message.
Pros:
You do not have to walk around, wound up tight, waiting for someone to call. Even if we hate people who don’t respond directly to text or don’t pick up when you call, they are enclosed in some way by a mysterious and unattainable sheen. Those who don’t have a cell phone are almost a bit holy.
