A beginner's guide to divorcing your phone

What's the first thing you do when you wake up? Read the news? Check your emails? Scroll through social media? Now, imagine your phone's not in the room. If that makes you feel uncomfortable, it may be time for a digital detox.

Tanya Goodin, a digital detox specialist, has devised a seven-day detox. She recommends first downloading a tracking app which measures how much time you spend looking at your screen and how many times a day you pick up your phone, so then you can compare your normal phone use with the end results.

Rules for a digital detox

1 D______ all social media apps from your phone; check these only from a desktop computer.

2 T______ off all banner-style / pop-up / sound notifications from all other apps.

3 L______ your phone in your pocket or somewhere where you can't see it for meetings / get-togethers / conversations / meals involving other people.

4 K______ your phone out of sight during your commute.

5 Don't t______ your phone with you into the bathroom or toilet.

Challenges

Day 1 Leave your phone outside your bedroom overnight; get an alarm clock or 6 t______ up the volume on your phone, so you can hear its alarm easily from your bed through the door. Continue this all week.

Day 2 Put your phone in a central place when you return home and go to the location of the phone (rather than carrying it around with you) if you need to 7 ch______ it.

Day 3 8 T______ your work email account off your phone (notify everyone in advance that you're doing this).

Day 4 Go out to dinner, lunch, or to an evening event / gym session and 9 l______ your phone behind.

Day 5 10 K______ your phone on airplane mode as default all day; take it off this mode only when you need to use it.

Days 6 and 7 Your complete digital detox: 11 sw______ off your phone and put it away from 7.00 p.m. Friday to 8.00 a.m. Monday.

Anisah

I rely on my phone for everything; I leave my laptop at work, as there is no wi-fi on the boat. My top four apps are WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram, and Twitter, and when it comes to deleting them, I think, 'I can do this!' I substitute Instagram with reading books and finish two by the end of the week, which makes me cringe at how much time I must waste on my phone.

I struggle with insomnia and often wake up at 4.00 a.m. and scroll through my phone. I'm amazed that, 2 without it to hand, I simply go back to sleep. I set the alarm on my old-fashioned Casio watch now, and stay asleep a lot longer.

By day three, I'm feeling left out of my family's WhatsApp group, but I welcome taking work emails off my phone. 3 Things take a turn for the worse on day four, when I'm sick and have to stay home. I decide there is no way I'm doing it without my phone – I need it in bed with me – and I go back to checking work emails, WhatsApp-ing my family and watching dog videos on YouTube.

I'm not worried about switching my phone off at the weekend. I tell my family, and my business partner, Tom, that I'll speak to them on Monday. By Saturday lunchtime, 4 I have a meltdown. It's so dead and quiet; I can't even listen to music, as my only source is my phone. I don't see a single person until my neighbour knocks on my door on Sunday morning with some chocolate. I almost cry. Later, I walk to the supermarket, just so I can speak to someone. This is the worst weekend of my life.

After the detox...

I couldn't cope with...not being able to take photos. I missed that so much.

I can now do without... 5 flicking through social media in bed before getting up. I've given myself an extra hour in the morning.

h Answer the questions with a partner.

1 How would you score for 'daily phone screen time' and 'number of pick-ups a day'? How dependent is your work or social life on having a phone?

2 Have you ever spent a long time without your phone, either as a detox, or because of circumstances? How did you feel?

3 Which of the detox rules and challenges would you find the most difficult?

Ответьте на вопросы с партнером.

1. Какие у вас были бы показатели "ежедневного экранного времени" и "количества раз, когда вы берете телефон в руки за день"? Насколько ваша работа или социальная жизнь зависит от наличия телефона?

2. Приходилось ли вам когда-нибудь проводить долгое время без телефона, будь то в рамках детокса или из-за обстоятельств? Как вы себя чувствовали?

3. Какие из правил и задач детокса вы бы сочли самыми сложными?

Ответ:

1. I think my daily screen time would be around 5 or 6 hours. I probably pick up my phone about 100 times a day, maybe more! My social life completely depends on my phone – it’s how I talk to all my friends and know what's going on.

Я думаю, мое ежедневное экранное время составляет около 5 или 6 часов. Я, наверное, беру телефон в руки около 100 раз в день, может, и больше! Моя социальная жизнь полностью зависит от телефона – так я общаюсь со всеми своими друзьями и узнаю, что происходит.

2. Once my phone ran out of battery when I was out for the whole day. At first, I felt really anxious and bored, like I was missing everything. But later it was kind of nice not to be distracted by notifications all the time. It was more peaceful.

Однажды у меня разрядился телефон, когда я был не дома целый день. Сначала я чувствовал себя очень тревожно и скучно, будто всё пропускаю. Но потом было даже приятно, что меня постоянно не отвлекают уведомления. Было спокойнее.

3. The most difficult challenge would be to switch off the phone from Friday evening to Monday morning. Weekends are when I use it the most to chat with friends and watch videos. I would feel really isolated and bored. Also, deleting social media apps would be very hard!

Самым сложным испытанием было бы выключить телефон с вечера пятницы до утра понедельника. На выходных я пользуюсь им больше всего, чтобы общаться с друзьями и смотреть видео. Я бы чувствовал себя очень изолированным и мне было бы скучно. А еще, удалить приложения социальных сетей было бы очень тяжело!
