5 Days Of No Cell Phone | Try Living with Lucie | Refinery29

How long can you go without checking your phone -- an hour, maybe two? This week I went entirely without a cell phone. I use my phone for EVERYTHING! While texting and calling is a given, I also use it to check email, stay up to date on the news and Snapchat! Once I officially turned it off it felt like I was instantly all alone with myself and my thoughts - it was miserable at first. However, by the end of the week I really felt like I had connected with my surroundings so much more. I interacted with more people and stepped outside of my natural routine. While I definitely will not be getting rid of my phone, I realized I may not need it as much as I originally thought!
