Since today I started my experiment "life without a cell phone", well sort of ..
-my main cell phone powered off in a drawer at home
-a cell phone at my desk with no sim card, no apps, only microsoft authenticator and the native timer function. This phone for 2FA and setting a vibrating alarm every 30 minutes to switch from sitting to standing (I tried multiple times with computer/browser timers and it doesnt quite work, you need a physical timer on your table that does not make bleeping sounds during meetings but which vibrates until you press reset, so a phone is perfect)
day one complete, going to leave this phone at my desk and attempt not to get extreme withdrawal later when I spend the first night without phone (joking but really not joking)
what do I hope to achieve? better sleep eventually and resetting my brain
