I realized I was constantly reaching for my phone without thinking, like a reflex.
You know, that notification you get on your phone?, about 5 months ago I got:
"You've used your phone 2 hours more than last week." I'd get that notification before, but I hadn't paid attention to it, so I decided to try to use it less. The next week it was only 30 minutes less, and I was like, what?????

I started to get annoyed by the amount of time I was wasting on things that didn't really matter, watching the news, arguing with someone in a chat, or just scrolling.
So one weekend I decided to put it away and see what happened.
And, honestly... I felt like I could breathe again.

This is pretty good. I admire your efforts here. It is so strange to me that twenty years ago, the only time I spent online was via a desktop. Thirty years ago, I didn't spent any time online at all. Now: I'm constantly online. It's so strange to think about all those hours.

I admire your efforts here. I know that I should probably try something similar myself...but I've always got a reason not to. 

What tipped you over into making the decision?
