Life changing.

Revisado: 07-21-19

As a teenager who understands that in the past, I have wasted many days (that led up to weeks and months) of my life on my phone. On my days off, I used to just sit in my room all day and watch YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, etc., and would scroll mindlessly through my social media feed. I even knew at the time that I was wasting my time on my phone but didn’t feel like changing because it would be too much work, too much change. And that’s partly true. It is a continuous effort and it’s a lot of work because it’s strange and difficult at first, but it get easier.
I live in a small town (population: ~750) with little to nothing to do and the biggest town near me in 40 miles away and is still a small town (population: ~8000). I used to think that I would be bored all day if I were to minimize my time on my phone, but that’s not true. Before I minimized my phone usage, my room was a mess and would continue to get messier, my laundry would pull up and I would only do what was necessary to get by, my closet was cluttered, the amount of clothes I had kept growing (because I never went through to see what I didn’t like or what didn’t fit), my dresser was disorganized, my life was disorganized (and I knew all this was happening, I just didn’t feel like taking care of it. I had better things to do; I had my phone). I’m only on the beginning of my journey of minimizing my phone usage, but I can already tell a mood change. I don’t feel down in the dumps anymore. It’s amazing. Not only have I started getting my stuff together (laundry, organizing, decluttering, etc.), but I also painted my whole room (walls, ceiling, doors, window- the works) and have taken care of things long overdue. I even notice a difference in the things I eat because I can actually think about what I truly want to eat, not just what’s easiest or fasted so I can get back to my phone. I find myself purchasing things with more thought and less impulse, and more improvements all around in my life because I don’t have interruptions coming from my phone. No joke! This book is a life changer. It was amazing and I highly recommend!
