Have you ever imagined a week all by yourself? No phones, no computer, no friends, just you and yourself and probably a pet if you have one? Now stop the imagination and just figure how well you do spend this very rare great moment. Several times I have thought I can't do without a phone but I survived the last time my phone got stolen and I realized I was able to engage in other times my phone had distracted me from giving attention to them. A week with no phone, computer, or friend no doubt will make a positive impact in my personal development.
WHAT I'LL DO FOR THE WEEK
READ BOOKS: Sometimes my brain tells me I'm busy whenever I want to read a book. I know those voices are inspired by my addiction to the phone. When those voices are silenced, I'll no longer struggle within myself to take up a new hobby like reading books. I'm a fast reader, I should be done with at least 10-15 books within that week in different categories. This would help me gain more knowledge in finance, management, story writing, etc. And probably help me develop love for reading that I have always struggled within myself to do.
TAKE UP A NEW HOBBY: I'll take up a new hobby like gaming, just something to make me feel refreshed each time I'm stressed with reading. Using a mobile phone had truly made me forsake certain habits and Hobbies I was used to doing. Growing up I loved games but gradually the love for it started to depreciate as I engaged more in social media. I will reconnect with my old passion during the week .
LEARN A SKILL: I'll learn something simple like driving a car. That shouldn't take more than two days to learn. Yeah, I'll teach myself, I know I have no one around, probably a very lonely street and an empty road with no cars. I'll keep bashing into anything until I learn. Hahaha. That's fun, I know I wouldn't worry about my mobile phone, a computer or friends while learning all I could for the week beside I'm already a certified loner, the difference is just the absence of a mobile phone that has become my muse for now.
