Day 2 of using my Faraday bag for my phone.
It is like a weight off my shoulders that I did not even know was there. It feels like a game, and in order to win I maximize the time my phone is in the bag. Easy, feels good.
It is crazy to try and rationalize this. Phone sits on a desk or a table somewhere, even in a different room of the house. Thoughts of it creep into your brain "I wonder if I have any messages? Do I need to check something on it?". I don't have facebook, tiktok or snapchat or any social media. I do have LinkedIn. Even without those things I still feel a draw to check my phone.
Phone goes in the bag. I have no draw to check it. I am not kidding. I am not sure if this will stay this way, but right now it feels exciting.
It feels like when your back hurts so bad, and then one day you wake up to realize it doesn't hurt anymore it just feels like a normal back. Well having the phone go away feels like a back that doesn't hurt anymore, it just feels like it should.
$20 well spent I say.
Eventually I will get my house where a good 50% of it has this tech built into the walls, and no signals will enter that portion of the house at all. No radio, cell phone, wifi, nothing. I can have a wired Ethernet going to my computers. You want to use a wireless signal? Go outside or to the other parts of the house.
