My ‘No Smartphone’ Summer
by Thomas Marly

Last June, I realised I was spending over six hours every day on my smartphone. Whether I was watching funny videos or checking what my friends were having for lunch, I was constantly looking at a bright screen. I felt tired all the time and found it extremely hard to concentrate on my homework. Because of this, I decided to do something radical: I put my phone in a kitchen drawer and promised myself I wouldn’t touch it for an entire month.

At first, the experience was incredibly difficult. On the first morning, I reached for my phone to check the time and felt a bit lost when it wasn’t there. I had to find an old alarm clock to wake me up. I also worried that my friends would think I was ignoring them because I wasn’t replying to their messages instantly. However, after a few days, that feeling of “missing out” started to disappear. It was a huge relief to no longer feel like I had to be available every second of the day.

I began to notice things I had ignored before. During my bus ride to school, instead of playing games, I looked out the window and saw a beautiful park I’d never really observed before. I also started reading novels again — something I hadn’t done for fun since primary school. Surprisingly, my school results improved because I could focus on my history essays without the “ping” of notifications every two minutes. I felt much more creative and even started drawing in my spare time, which made me feel much more relaxed.

When the month finally ended, I took my phone out of the drawer. I didn’t feel the need to check it immediately. My friends weren’t even angry; they actually said they were a bit jealous of my experiment. One friend even decided to try it himself for a weekend! I still use my phone now, of course, but I’ve deleted most of the social media apps. I’ve realised that life is much more interesting when you aren’t looking at it through a small box. It was a valuable lesson that taught me how to manage my time better and appreciate the real world. I feel much more confident now about my ability to stay focused without using technology constantly.
