Today is November 2. It seems other universities are on fall break, but classes are in session as usual at my university. I didn’t fall asleep very easily last night, so I’m really sleepy right now. But since tomorrow is a holiday, I’ll just power through today. One of my class assignments is a “digital detox.” For someone like me who’s on my phone all day, this is a really tough assignment. And since it lasts for three weeks, I’m feeling pretty down about it. Still, I’ve heard from various sources that a digital detox has many positive effects, so I’m actually looking forward to it a little. I probably wouldn’t do this on my own without an opportunity like this, so I’m going to treat it as a good chance and do my best for these three weeks. I think the biggest hurdle for me will be not being able to listen to music while commuting. Not being able to use my phone while commuting will probably be the hardest part, so I want to find something—like reading a book—that can serve as a substitute for using my phone as soon as possible.
