Today marks 300 days without a cell phone.

Which means…

300 days without using my phone to kill time while waiting for a meeting to start.

300 days without staring at my phone when walking from my car into a building.

300 days without scrolling the internet while standing in line for my coffee.

300 days without taking one picture to document the moment I was in.

300 days without reaching for my phone at the first sign of boredom.

300 days without responding to any notifications instantaneously.

300 days without being distracted while playing with my kids.

300 days without checking weather updates or sports scores.

300 days without checking emails before getting out of bed.

300 days without using GPS to arrive at my destination.

300 days without touching my phone during any meal.

300 days without ordering anything on my phone.

300 days without texting and driving.

300 days without my smartphone. 

Maybe going 365 days without a cell phone isn’t as dumb as it seemed.
