I did it on Sunday, a little Sabbath moment where I was going to challenge myself to just not go on my phone the entire day because I was feeling super convicted of the fact that so long as I have my phone in my hand, I am not resting.

There's always someone to reply to.

There's always a notification to click on.

There's always another video to watch and you'll keep scrolling and scrolling.

And I feel like as humans, we're hardwired to just like watch things until it's over, like a movie, right?

Okay, you're watching a movie, then it ends.

You're watching a show, the series ends.

You're not watching it anymore.

But the thing about social media is it never ever ends.

And so we think that we have the power to be like, oh, let me just click on something and watch a few.

it's never ending it's like we're hypnotized by our phones and it's so insane and i'm not saying this because i don't do this i'm saying this because i'm guilty of this but i also have this like second side of me that has become fully aware of the damage that my phone is doing to my brain my relationships my productivity my everyday life and so now i feel that i can say this to you so when i had my phone fast

Let me just start by saying it was the best day of my entire life.

I got more done in this day than I probably had in the last six months.

There are things that have been on my to-do list, I'm not even kidding, for three years.

And I never did it because so long as I have my phone, I will always be busy.

I will never be resting.

There will always be something more to do on my phone.

And when I put it down for not even 24 hours, the amount of things that I got done were incredible.

The way that I spent my day was so nice.

I did not feel drained.
