I look foreword to seeing how the rest of the days go.]]> 2021-09-28 15:52:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer_bray4/1kt81wb4ricw/wish/1775152214 https://padlet.com/jennifer_bray4/1kt81wb4ricw/wish/1775291232 I feel great so far about this challenge. During breaks at school, I have been trying to put my phone away, either in my backpack or give to a friend to hold on to. I am still picking up my phone to check for notifications frequently, so I plan to break this habit. For example, rather than checking my phone four times in a span of two hours, instead checking once or twice in a span of two hours. Also, rather than checking my phone, I plan to be productive and stay on top of my work. Ultimately, I plan to get my homework done in advance. ]]> 2021-09-28 16:36:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer_bray4/1kt81wb4ricw/wish/1775291232 24izzyd14 https://padlet.com/jennifer_bray4/1kt81wb4ricw/wish/1775530830 I'm doing quite well on the second day the hair tie has definitely helped bring awareness to how much I'm using my phone. I would like to reduce how much I check my notification and maybe turn them off for non-crucial apps. But overall so far its going great!]]> 2021-09-28 17:56:26 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer_bray4/1kt81wb4ricw/wish/1775530830 lruttenb https://padlet.com/jennifer_bray4/1kt81wb4ricw/wish/1775580925 So far having the hair tie there just adds awareness when i'm holding my phone and makes it harder to fully see things on my screen. It does feel different though, so now I realize every time my phone is in my hand.]]> 2021-09-28 18:14:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer_bray4/1kt81wb4ricw/wish/1775580925 https://padlet.com/jennifer_bray4/1kt81wb4ricw/wish/1776083977 2021-09-28 22:28:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer_bray4/1kt81wb4ricw/wish/1776083977 https://padlet.com/jennifer_bray4/1kt81wb4ricw/wish/1776167476 The hair tie and different lock screen have definitely helped me stop and think about when and why I'm checking my phone. I've realized that the majority of the time I'm either picking it up in order to write down an important piece of information, or I'm picking it up when I'm bored to check my notifications. This challenge is already helping me reduce the number of times I aimlessly check my phone!]]> 2021-09-28 23:33:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer_bray4/1kt81wb4ricw/wish/1776167476 24komurasakiyu3 https://padlet.com/jennifer_bray4/1kt81wb4ricw/wish/1776170029 So far everything is going well! The hair tie is keeping me more aware of this project and is definitely helping me more than expected. I can't wait too see more progress within the next few days :)]]> 2021-09-28 23:35:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer_bray4/1kt81wb4ricw/wish/1776170029 https://padlet.com/jennifer_bray4/1kt81wb4ricw/wish/1776303027 The hairtie and the background have been good reminders and I've been decreasing the amount of time Ive been on my phone but its still a decent challenge. ]]> 2021-09-29 00:44:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer_bray4/1kt81wb4ricw/wish/1776303027 https://padlet.com/jennifer_bray4/1kt81wb4ricw/wish/1776405338 2021-09-29 01:24:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer_bray4/1kt81wb4ricw/wish/1776405338 https://padlet.com/jennifer_bray4/1kt81wb4ricw/wish/1776481638 I am feeling good so far about this challenge. Being aware about whenever I am using my phone has definitely been helpful especially while doing my homework with my phone constantly buzzing on the desk next to me.]]> 2021-09-29 01:53:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer_bray4/1kt81wb4ricw/wish/1776481638 https://padlet.com/jennifer_bray4/1kt81wb4ricw/wish/1776820329 So far I have been feeling good about this challenge. I really like having the hair tie on my phone since it really makes me realize how often I pick up my phone. The wallpaper has also been reminding me about this project and the end goal, which has been a great way to motivate me stay off my phone today. ]]> 2021-09-29 04:10:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer_bray4/1kt81wb4ricw/wish/1776820329 https://padlet.com/jennifer_bray4/1kt81wb4ricw/wish/1777481000 I have found that changing my lockscreen to this has made me rethink my choice in picking up my phone, and has guilted me into putting it back down instead of going on to do whatever mindless activity I was about to engage in. Once I added the rubber band as well, I kept it in the middle of my phone so that I was forced to feel it every time I pick up my phone, and it has made me think about what my intentions are. ]]> 2021-09-29 09:40:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer_bray4/1kt81wb4ricw/wish/1777481000 sumeyab22 https://padlet.com/jennifer_bray4/1kt81wb4ricw/wish/1780434750 I decided to put a rubber band around my phone and clear out my apps and lock screen, I think this will help me think about why I am picking up my phone, and start to notice when I do it most/what I open it , I think these messages will help remind me. Something that you might notice is that my apps have covers on them, this is something I applied during the IOS 11 update and couldn't bring myself to get rid of because it took hours to set up. However, because they are all more green undertones, I think that they won't distract me too much as I never click on apps that look like this just have them there to look nice. ]]> 2021-09-30 06:18:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer_bray4/1kt81wb4ricw/wish/1780434750 https://padlet.com/jennifer_bray4/1kt81wb4ricw/wish/1782794146 On day 2, I felt a lot better about this challenge than I thought I would! The changed lock screen and rubber band are both surprisingly effective was of making me recognize when I pick up my phone unconsiously and unnecessarily. I do still find myself bypassing this weird guilt sometimes, but the fact that I do feel guilty makes me think I'm improving!]]> 2021-10-01 00:32:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer_bray4/1kt81wb4ricw/wish/1782794146 https://padlet.com/jennifer_bray4/1kt81wb4ricw/wish/1791052280 2021-10-04 23:24:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer_bray4/1kt81wb4ricw/wish/1791052280
