Tried turning off my phone notifications for 48 hours straight

I was at a coffee shop in Austin last Saturday and decided to silence every ping from my apps for the whole weekend. By Sunday night I had read three chapters of a book and called my mom without checking my screen once. Has anyone else found that quitting notifications for a short time actually clears your head or did I just get lucky?

Not sure turning off notifications for two days is some huge mental breakthrough. It's just phones being quiet for a bit, not a full lifestyle overhaul. Maybe you were just bored and actually had time to read, which is fine but not that deep.

@burns.ruby three days of silence actually rewired my whole brain though, for real.
