This challenge involves refraining from using your phone for the weekend, including calls, texts, or social media. The goal is to disconnect from digital distractions, focus on in-person interactions, and reclaim time for more fulfilling activities.

Steps:

Notification Disabling

Turn off notifications or put your phone on silent mode to minimize temptations to check it.

Designate Emergency Contacts

Inform family or friends about your phone-free weekend and provide an alternative way to contact you in case of emergencies.

Store Away Your Phone

Place your phone in a designated spot where it's out of sight and less accessible to avoid accidental use.

Opportunity costs:

Missed Communication: You might miss important calls or messages during the weekend.

FOMO (Fear of Missing Out): Fear of missing out on social updates or news may arise due to not checking social media or messages.

Dependency Awareness: Realizing the extent of phone dependency and its impact on daily life might be uncomfortable.

Wellness:

Notes:

Prepare Alternative Activities: Plan activities such as reading, hobbies, or outdoor outings to fill the time usually spent on the phone.

Inform People in Advance: Let friends and family know about your challenge to manage expectations regarding communication.

Embrace Silence: Take advantage of the quiet moments to reflect, relax, and enjoy the absence of constant digital noise.

Stay Mindful: Notice how your mood, focus, and interactions change during the phone-free period.
