Last week my phone took a dive into a river, never to be seen again 🪦
Even unplanned, it was an opportunity to assess my relationship with it. I'm always trying to make reaching for the phone more intentional, but I was under no illusion that I do it way too often.
Not having the possibility to do that made clear how mindless the habit's become. It gave me back some of my time - emails only checked from the computer, twice a day - and stretched my perception of time in other occasions - the 15min to the supermarket feel longer, not having a podcast paying in my ears.
Today, as I waited for my new phone to be delivered, I came across Disconnection Practices: a zine with new approaches to relate to our devices.
Some of the stuff there I already do, some will be fun new experiments.
Leaving the zine here as I know phone use is an almost universal issue at this point, one intimately related to living slowly (or struggling to do so)
