My smartphone is always off, almost no one can join me on it and almost no one can call me unless I specifically tell them I will be reachable at a certain time.
The benefits:
- No stress of having to respond to a call in the middle of nowhere, or to have to compromise my time for non urgent conversation.
- No wasting mental energy in having to wait for a response or a call from someone.
- No stupid apps to siphon my time
- Bed time and outdoor time is not hijacked
- Way less exposure to EMFs
- More time thinking, meditating, better mental health overall
- More present in life and for people around
- More peaceful life
Cons:
- You are difficult to reach, and people will have hard time reaching you when on need
- Your social life may suffer as people consider to be reachable something essential
- Modern life is more and more centered around smartphones and this can make interaction with society unoptimized if you don't use it
