I got an iPhone in January and while I initially liked having everything at my fingertips, I'm now finding it more of a burden that I put on myself. Whenever I'm on vacation and I'm free from my laptop and cell phone I always feel so much more peaceful.

Whenever I feel that panic at having realized as I am ten minutes on my way somewhere that I've left my cell at home and feel the NECESSITY to go get it RIGHT NOW, BEFORE MOVING ANOTHER INCH, I often think about all those years I survived without my phone and went everywhere without it. You're right, it is freeing. I've been thinking lately about how much of my time is taken up with social media in all of its forms. What a wise decision to limit it and put it into your schedule. I used to read in bed before falling asleep, now it's Pinterest. I check every e-mail message as it comes in on my phone, so constant interruptions from advertisers as well as important business e-mails. I feel compelled to constantly snap pics for Instagram ... it's almost like having paparazzi following me everywhere etc. when your dinner your eating has to be ready for a photoshoot! As much as I do love all of these various avenues of today's social media, it IS tiring and time-consuming and we have to ask ourselves what are we giving up by making it all such a part of our life. Hmmmmm ... now I'm wondering whether I could give up my phone ... geesh, so difficult, and I applaud your bravery lol! Love your posts, Vanessa. Have a wonderful weekend! I'll be pondering ... ~xoSandy<br /><br />SANDY M Illustration<br />http://oohlafroufrou.blogspot.comSandy at Ooh La Frou Frouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00264245559729663977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-688374863488035047.post-27602778918355253472012-11-15T18:37:29.852-08:002012-11-15T18:37:29.852-08:00Hi Vanessa, I applaud you!!

I love my computer, but don't find the need to stay connected to my phone all day. I don't think people look up anymore LOL the're always looking down in their hands at their phones. People don't even look at each other anymore. They are missing out on a lot....so again I applaud you.<br />Dee xoxoDeehttp://twitter.com/dees_cornernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-688374863488035047.post-47985971589679751542012-11-14T13:34:27.712-08:002012-11-14T13:34:27.712-08:00I think I would find it difficult.

I read things quickly, but don't respond on the phone because I can't type. what I really need to do is limit my internet time on the desktop, and schedule things you like as well. In fact, I would say the phone has caused me to less communicative. I will read an e-mail, but don't respond as much now so I don't spent a good 20 minutes writing e-mails to my mom or a friend...guess that could be bad. <br /><br />Great post!Leigh Powell Hineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13271217245421014771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-688374863488035047.post-90495614031561387992012-11-13T00:54:52.778-08:002012-11-13T00:54:52.778-08:00That's incredbile, 3 months now huh?
