For my Digital Detox i used option 4 which is using “Do not disturb” at first I was ver hesitant on using Din not disturb as I had this thought that people who’s phone are on do not disturb are trying to be “cool”. I felt that Do not disturb was just for people who get alot of text messages but I was wrong. Over thanksgiving break I decided to put my phone on do not disturb and i realized it was very impactful on my daily activities, For example I would be walking somewhere and I hear my phone buzz then immediately use my phone for the remainder of the walk. But when I used do not disturb I started walking faster and arriving to places quicker than I used to.Now when I am doing something that requires me to focus I put my phone on do not disturb to prevent the buzz sound from notifications which was the main reason I opened my phone.

I’m glad to hear that you found so much success in using do not disturb. I like your note about how you often have a tendency to continue using your phone for long periods of time after just simply checking it for a notification. I thought this point was interesting because I feel like a lot of people find themselves in similar situations, but to hear that turning off the buzzing eliminates this concern is great to hear. I am learning to use do not disturb in the same way you are and I think it could end up being very beneficial.
