While I was jumping rope, my phone took a fall to the hardwood floor which created multiple cracks on my screen. However, the music kept , so all as well - or so I thought.

    Thirty minutes later, I could see only one-tenth of my screen while the rest was pitch-black. The next morning, I decided not to go to the phone store for 24 hours, I felt a(n) sense of calm that day, which led to my not going for one week. One week ended up becoming 60 days without my smart-phone.

Here are three I noticed and why you may want to consider a smart-phone detox(戒除期)yourself:

    You'll become bored

    While in line at a Starbucks, I noticed how every individual had their head down, eyes fixed on their smart-phone. With nothing to distract myself with during the waiting period, I became bored, and my mind through all sorts of topics.

    Boredom is something we avoid at all costs. However, boredom is the perfect way to make a(n) on a business idea or project. When you enter a state of boredom, ou allow your mind to relax and escape from the realities of today to the infinite of tomorrow.

    You'll be able to dramatically reduce your "work" hours

A study found that adults ages 18 to 33 their smart-phones 85 times a day, or once every 10 minutes.

    As I learned during my experiment, placing some distance between myself and my device helped me fall into deep work more easily.

By not having my smart-phone, my distraction time went down and thus my hours of work were spent more efficiently and effectively. On numerous occasions, I found myself what to do with the afternoon since I had already completed my high-impact tasks for the day.

    Your mental well-being will receive a boost(提高)

    Obviously, without a cellphone, I experienced a lack of news and comments. While that helped cause a dramatic boost in my mental well-being, the biggest reason for it was truly connecting to people.
