A Phone-Free Week

I decided to spend one week without social media.

The first two days felt surprisingly uncomfortable.

My hand reached for the phone even when nothing had happened.

By Wednesday, I noticed my attention lasted longer.

I finished a book I had been carrying around for months.

However, I also missed real news from my family group.

The lesson was not that technology is bad.

It was that attention is a resource I had been spending carelessly.
