Sorry, guys.

You're like, oh, great.

That was the worst story ever.

Okay.

weirdly you'd think do not disturb mode would be something that I would really like but because of like oh I I want like an I want like less text but weirdly like no I want people to call me like I want like that more intentional just like yeah yeah like you said serendipity like oh I am here by the phone I am answering because you called like that's that's that was kind of a secret goal was just like more serendipity hmm

Spontaneous plans kind of were out the door.

I couldn't really make plans on the fly when I was out like on a Friday or Saturday night.

I just kind of had to stick to the one friend I was meeting and maybe we would go around town somewhere else.

Yeah, I actually did on like the last day of this experiment.

I thought it would be nice to just see if my friend would answer his buzzer at his apartment.

And let's see if it is my last grasp at kind of like an analog life.

So on my way home from work, I just walked by his apartment and I rung his buzzer.

And then he answered and let me in.

And he was there, him and his girlfriend were there just like making dinner and they had me in and I left with a piece of cake.

And it was such a nice little like end to the experiment.

They're like, oh, this is like people, it's people just have to...

popping by this is your next experiment jeremy no phones at all just door knocks just oh my gosh some friends were like oh the next logical um step is just snail mail you just have to send letters and i was like oh god well that might take a while

I use my phone, I'd say probably about like 50% of how I used to.

So like I don't check it as often anymore.

I get less texts than I used to because I've been removed from some of the group chats I wasn't replying in, I can tell.
