As someone who was a teen around the advent of smartphones, I'm only just now learning how important it is to unplug. It's wonderful, give it a try.

Once you have the concept down of not doing anything to further itself but merely existing in the time and place, which is called reflection, you can expand (not travel) to contemplation, a different experience.

No screens on Sundays, works for me.

Be honest… > I looked up and saw this one spot where the sun rays made a kind of painting on the kitchen wall. And it flickered now and then as light moved through the leaves. At that moment, did you not feel like taking your phone to take a photo?

I've never felt a need to completely withdraw from the phone or the internet. If you just get off the 6 biggest sites/networks it goes a long way. The worst stuff/people have been captured by network effects and are quarantined in place on Twitter etc.
