\u201cSo, uh, I\u2019ll talk to you on Monday.\u201d<\/p>\n

Those are my last words to my friends over Google Chat on a Friday. I repeat the quick conversation I\u2019ve just had with a few more friends\u2014that I\u2019m not going to use any electronic devices for the whole weekend, so I can report on the experience. Most friends are surprised at the idea\u2014\u201cLOL\u201d is a common response\u2014but a few are curious, saying they think this is just what I need. They\u2019ve spent too much time watching me check Twitter to think anything else.<\/p>\n

I close my computer after saying goodbye, and then I go home and start to turn on the lights for the weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201cDigital detoxes,\u201d as they\u2019re often called, are growing in popularity. Once you\u2019ve reached the point where an idea has its own Wikipedia page<\/a>, you know you\u2019ve got something. When the Wikipedia entry is the fourth entry on a Google search, behind a couple of articles and a website for a company offering unplugged workshops and retreats<\/a>, it\u2019s more than just a trend. It\u2019s a movement.<\/p>\n

Digital detoxing has its origins in 1994, when a group called TV-Free America advocated a National TV Turnoff Week. “The idea’s not to beat people over the head with this idea that TV is bad for them, that it’s rotting their brain, that it’s destroying their communities,” Henry Labalme, who co-founded the group, told The Los Angeles Times<\/em><\/a>. “But to say, try life with a little less TV and a little more time, and you’ll have more fun.”<\/p>\n

This philosophy has gotten traction over the years. Digital Detox, the company that runs the device-free retreats, says in its manifesto <\/a>that electronic devices should be \u201ctruly improving our unique existence, instead of distracting, disturbing or disrupting us.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe that these technologies should be created mindfully and ethically, for the benefit of and not at the cost of consumers and users,\u201d it continues. “In fact, the relationship that grows between the creator and consumer should be truly symbiotic and honest.\u201d In other words, if you use your phone less, you\u2019ll be able to appreciate it more.<\/p>\n

For me, this isn\u2019t a terribly revolutionary idea. I grew up in a religious Jewish household where we wouldn\u2019t use electricity on the Sabbath. There was a spiritual point, obviously, but what I found fascinating was the disconnect from the rest of the week. That separation was frustrating, since I couldn\u2019t watch TV or go over to a friend\u2019s house to play video games. But in retrospect, I see that it was also relaxing, creating a differently paced childhood, one that allowed me to greater appreciate the nature around me.<\/p>\n

It was a practice I hadn\u2019t kept in years, so I was curious how I\u2019d react to not just following my parents\u2019 rules, but doubling down on them. I usually can\u2019t go over five minutes without looking at my phone or wondering if I have enough battery power left, so I was a little worried.<\/p>\n

The thing about slowing down is that once you do it, there\u2019s less to write about. When I got home from work, I followed all the rituals of my youth: turning the bathroom light on, getting my reading lamp just right, lowering the fan so it wouldn\u2019t be too noisy. (Hopefully all of this sounds less wasteful when I add that I wasn\u2019t planning on taking the subway or a car or a bus anywhere. If I wanted to travel, I\u2019d have to do so on my own feet.)<\/p>\n

What did I do when everything was all set up just so? I read, for starters. I usually reserve reading for the subway, but the pages started to fly when I didn\u2019t have anything else to do. I alternated between The New Yorker<\/em>, Thirteen Days in September<\/em><\/a>, and Nautilus<\/em>, which is a sentence so boring that I can barely type it without yawning.<\/p>\n

The first few hours were the hardest. Wondering what was happening on Twitter kept me from delving too deeply in my reading, and kept me trying to find something else to focus on. Eventually, I knew that I had grown so helplessly behind on Twitter that there was no reasonable way to catch up. So I just kind of sat there on my bed.<\/p>\n

I realized that I could hear music, late \u201880s R&B, blasting through my walls. My neighbor was singing along, which thanks to my building\u2019s thin walls, I know he does most Fridays. I usually put on headphones to counter his noise with my own, but since that wasn\u2019t an option, there was nothing to do but listen to him sing.<\/p>\n

My neighbor doesn\u2019t have the best voice, but he makes up for it with how much he loves to wail. So the only option for me was to leave or stay. I chose to stay. The act of doing nothing to rectify the situation was a new one for me, since I like to solve problems. Doing nothing? Not normally my thing. But by choosing just to listen to him, I realized that it was even less of a problem than I had thought initially.<\/p>\n

The rest of the weekend was a breeze. I walked around. I ran into friends at a nearby restaurant. I can\u2019t say that when I started using electronics again Monday morning that I felt a great appreciation for them. They were the same devices they I had always had, and I quickly fell into my old routines. But rather than attaining, or even seeking a higher state of consciousness, my digital detox had taught me that not everything needs to be corrected. If your neighbor\u2019s singing out loud to Bell Biv Devoe, listen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
