By this point, you've finally managed to silence your phone, and you're basking in the sweet, sweet silence. But don't get too comfortable, because the real challenge is just beginning.
It's time to take your newfound silence to the next level. You need to write a strongly worded letter to yourself, detailing the reasons why you're better off without the constant distraction of your phone.
The Key to Success: Be as harsh as possible. Use words like "reckless," "chaotic," "addictive," and "ruinous." Think of all the times your phone had a stranglehold on you, and let that anger and frustration shine through on the page.
Create a phone-free zone in your home.
Sign the letter with a flourish, and then promptly rip up the evidence of your past phone addiction.
Celebrate your triumph by treating yourself to a nice, phone-free dinner.
