"It's been 168 hours..."

  That's a week. It sounds like a life time, especially when I throw that number in there, luckily for me with school and work I didn’t have much time to fret over my little handheld device. I have said this before and I will say it again cause it’s true, my focus for tasks have just gone through the roof. I’m surprised at how fast I’ve gotten stuff done lately and guys, knowing me I’m the biggest procrastinator in the world!!

 I did have trouble reaching out to classmates to meet deadlines during the week so that was really the only part that sucked. But I do recommend turning it off when you want to get some actual work done. Turn it off and put it in a drawer somewhere and forget about it for a while. Seriously, it really helps.

 I don't think we fully comprehend how much time is wasted just scrolling online or texting away. The days don't go by slow (for me) but they don't go by fast either. It just passes but you don't notice every single hour go by. We probably check our phone a thousand times a day and by doing so we unintentionally measure the time in the day. Think about it. We live around the clock accustomed to a certain schedule in which we based our lives around. I've found that it makes me anxious. 

 Also it's nice to put your phone down and participate in actual conversations with people. For those that are on their phones while hanging out with friends, you should really put it away. It's rude talking to somebody and then they go and stare at their phone while talking to you. My friend did it to me and I wanted to punch him in the face. Not really (sort of) but damn, in person conversations have become scarce. Even writing phone numbers down is a lost art. The ripped paper or a napkin with pen ink and the person's number on it. My friend gave me his number so I have it on my mirror. It looks cool on there cause it looks like I still got it ;) but in reality he's my gay coworker. Still looks like I got a dude's number though.
