The Imperfects · Our Phone Odyssey Begins · 19 Jul 2026 podcast

So my plan is to leave my phone at the office for a month.

Wow.

So I can use it during the day.

That's more extreme than mine, really.

I'm a bit nervous.

I haven't told Soph yet.

I just don't want it to become a mental load thing where a lot of the admin and stuff gets passed on to her.

I have to say, well, can you be the contact for all this?

Well, definitely do that.

and i like and i think logistically i will have my laptop so like yeah if i need to contact someone if i need to do something i can get my laptop out to do it because that's all synced up but i just won't have a phone in my pocket around my kids for a month because it'll be at work yeah i'm so happy to hear that that makes me i love that because i i know that thing of like well i could check my phone quickly before they come back in and then

Yeah, I'll be interested to see how it goes.

And maybe we should do an episode on Patreon or something to report back on our findings and our experience.

Yes.

But I'm looking forward to it because I think I use it as a distraction, but I'm looking forward to... It's not like I'm still going to need a break from parenting.

It's not like I can go from like...

no phone to just being 100% present dad, because I think we all need breaks from it because it's a big job.

But I look forward to saying to them more consciously, like saying, guys, I'm just going to go outside for 10 minutes because my brain needs a break, but I'm going to

I don't know, pull out weeds or read a book or do something wholesome and good for my brain and they'll see me actually taking control of that urge rather than it being controlled by a phone.

I think it'll be a good chance to model to kids that it's okay to say dad needs five minutes to himself.

I'll be back in a few minutes.
