The Accidental Detox #68

21 Dec 2025

Description

How a Broken Phone Became My Best Festive Reset As the festive season approaches, this solo episode takes an unexpected turn sparked by a complete tech malfunction and an accidental digital detox. When Alan’s phone suddenly became unusable late on a Friday evening and couldn’t be repaired until Monday, he found himself forced into an entire weekend without it. What followed was a surprising sense of lightness, clarity, and presence, and a powerful reminder of how much mental space our devices quietly occupy. In this reflective and practical episode, Alan explores: Why stepping away from your phone isn’t about discipline - it’s about attention How creating space can reignite creativity, calm, and connection The difference between intentional presence and constant availability Why the festive season may be an invitation to remove rather than add How less screen time can lead to deeper community and warmer interactions You’ll also be invited to try a simple, pressure-free experiment — The Festive Phone Box — a short, intentional break from your device designed to help you reconnect with what really matters. No rules. No guilt. No optimisation. Just space. This episode is a gentle reminder that sometimes the most powerful resets arrive by accident — and the greatest gift we can offer ourselves and others is our full attention. 🎧 Set to a subtly festive, laid-back jazz backdrop, this episode is designed to be listened to slowly.
