Experiment:

Try leaving your smartphone at home in your dorm room for an entire day. Then, write about your experience. Was it difficult or easy to do? Did you feel anxiety or relief?

It was fairly hard for me to leave my phone at home for an entire day Monday through Friday, so I decided to do this on Saturday. This was very difficult for me because the first hour or so, I felt the need to pick up my phone. I had to ask my boyfriend to hide my phone from me. I guess this day, it was not so hard because I was stuck in my office doing homework all day, cleaning the house, and doing laundry. I normally listen to music with headphones but I had to carry around my speaker all over the house while cleaning. Luckily, my speaker is small. It really irritated me when the speaker would make a noise meaning I had gotten a text message.

I made it to 9pm without having to use my phone and I am really proud of myself.
