Utah, US
This week, I stopped checking the phone every day, especially not to check messages.
I was slightly nervous for the first 2 days, then relieved later. And now I feel quite comfortable just spending time on my laptop (Terminal Emacs & web browser), and 2 kindles. I do check messages though, maybe once every 3-5 days.
Life becomes very simple. And I have more time to read and think.
