34) “Unplug” yourself for a day
Unplugged day
So
in order to achieve one of the required achievements in COL270, I was
instructed to have a day off from all electronics and technology. I also wanted
to challenge my self if I am going to survive the day without my smartphone and
laptop. I kept my electronics somewhere away from my sight so I don’t break the
challenge because I know I wont be able to resist if I saw my phone and laptop
somewhere near me. I usually start my day by watching a TV show or texting and
using other social media. Instead I spent my morning reading a book, then I
started organizing my room, then I organized my books and started studying and
preparing my self for the upcoming midterms, till it was lunch time which is
the time where all of my family members gather. I spent all the afternoon and
evening with my siblings and parents, chatting and laughing. It felt good to
have some quality time with my family, because I distanced my self from them in
the last while because of social media and technology addiction. Then it was bedtime. I survived a whole day
24 hours without using any of my electronics.
It
was hard at the begging and I felt the day passed so slow because I usually
entertain my self using my mobile phone or laptop, but it was worth the try,
and I believe I will do it every while and then to have a peaceful time with my
family and to relieve my self from stress without any modern technology.
