This is How I Spent 29 Challenging Days of Life Without Smartphone
it's the constant thing we do on repeatedly without getting tired. I never had thought of spending a single day without my smartphone especially in this era it feels like smartphone is part of body organ attached with me and I can't live without it.
Somehow, I had to spend whole 29 days without smartphone and the way this whole thing happened is something hell of a storytelling you'll love to hear.
The Good Old Time when my screentime was 23hours a day
It's about four years ago summertime when I was locked down in home COVID time and I started playing battlefield game with online friends on smartphone to spend time and escape from boredom.
I didn't had any idea how I got so addicted with that game like my screentime would've been 23hours and I ain't lying since I was pushing for league and it takes you to stay active whole time.
Anyway, this madness was increasing and something my family noticed instantly. I was like having zero interaction with other family members, not sitting with gathering or spending time with them.
My Grandpa Did This..
My mobile was on charge while I was doing dinner and when I go back to see my mobile it wasn't there and I started searching for it.
Than I found out my grandpa have took it and he said I ain't giving it back until this month comes to an end.
I was like he's a bit angry and might get it back after an hour or so.. but a day is gone and no sign of smartphone.

So, I started searching for it in the house but literally couldn't find a trace while rest of family members were also like saying that's something good happened to me.
And now I truly understand why that was necessary and I won't forget it in my whole life. Since my grandpa is no more in this world, I remember his teachings and saying.. it was a lesson and he cared about me.
Spending each day without Mobile was more Tough and challenging
I was stubborn couple of years ago but life did humbled and upgraded me to a better version. At that time, I stopped talking with everyone cuz no one was getting me smartphone back.
Like I talked with no one for rest of 29 days and spent entirely alone exactly how an addict behave while getting detoxed.
It was hard and challenging since I was more like addicted but after getting detoxed which took exactly 29 days everything changed.
Now I've Limited myself...
It's been more than three years since I left playing games and I've never used smartphone like before.
My screentime is more or less than 8 hours a day. I know when to use, when to not.

Limiting myself was only possible cuz of my grandpa and those 29 days. It was hard but I learnt things elders do and we don't understand that time are always for a reason and we get it when we grow up old.
Now with my own will I visit my hometown where I use smartphone way too less and spend time interacting with people, nature and grandma. These things matters a lot and I know importance of em in my life.
So, This is my story and experience of a lifetime maturity.. I really hope you liked this storytelling and would love to know your thoughts in the comment.

Wow, 29 full days without a smartphone. I can't imagine living this way. Especially now. But I feel since you were spending it on unproductive things, it was the best thing your grandpa did.
Yea, I never thought I would be able to spend a day without it but well those were some days and learnt my lesson.
!PIZZA !LUV

! help(no space) to get help on Hive. InfoWow! A whole 29 days!
That's a lot. I don't think I can take it, I would have cried my eyes out.
Your grandpa just wanted to teach you a lesson.
Haha, Yeah.
The way I acted those 29 days it was more like crying 😂 but from inside.
That was some good lesson. !LUV !PIZZA
🤗
Your grandpa was really smart to have taken that phone without a trace and am glad you learnt that lesson.
There is time for everything including phone. Thanks for sharing
Man, he taught me so many good things and I miss him everyday..
You're right, there's indeed time for everything!! glad to share, thanks for reading. !PIZZA !LUV
You're lucky you've your grandfather who taught you the hard way.
Just like you I was also addicted to my phone, my dad also took my phone at a time and I invested those time wisely even though I was angry at first.
Indeed, I was lucky.
Oh, that's great... we look back to those things now it makes so sense why it was necessary.

Your grandpa was a great man! He surely did care for you a lot that’s why he did it. 29 days must have been hard for you but it’s better now that you know how to control yourself.
Wishing you a lovely day 😇
Indeed he was truly a great man.
Those days were hard back then and never thought I'd be able to spend a day without it but now I can do that for more longer.
Thank you, wish you a lovely day too!

Wow, 29 days are not 29 hours! Staying without a cellphone for such a long time, especially during a pandemic, is something surreal, but there's a good lesson in it. Your grandfather understood well that you were heading down a wrong path, and his experience guided him to act in the right way. It's better to go without a cellphone for 29 days (even if that's terrible) than to surrender your whole life to it. The lesson was tough but it was good.
Haha Yea, he did the absolute right thing.... wasn't able to see it that time but now I surely do. Those were some days and lessons must've learnt.

Well boy😂you gave me really a tough time. I was thinking that only i have a long screen time I.e 11 hours but you literally vanquished me .
I think that you must be really grateful to your grandpa as I believe that all that stubbornness and off mode was due to mobile.
Mobile was invented to bring people close to us but we repelled those due to it who were actually close to us
Haha bro, I guess at that me and my Fren circle would've made world record for that screentime !LOL.
Indeed, I'm grateful for that.
So true and a sad reality.

Now that's a good lesson coming from the elders. They only want the best for us so listening to them too is not bad. And good thing you can still limit yourself on your screentime. Coz i have a hard time doing that, lol. I just can't stop it. But, I am starting it again by giving two hours rest in the afternoon but here I am abusing again my eyes haha. I dont know anymore lol
Yea, elders have experience and see things we kids can't.
Haha, this is kind of a situation for everyone.. you surely gonna manage that screentime.. I try going out leaving mobile at home. That works.

I think you were not health conscious and your grandfather has done the right thing and he made you realize what you are actually doing. It took time to understand but later you understand. I think now you know when and how much time you need to use your smartphone. It was a life lesson for you.
