With the experiment so far I am doing okay. It’s a little hard not being able to use my phone every single day for a week. By giving up my phone for a week I spend my time reading more novels. A quote or words that applies to where I am at this plan is “We can independently determine what is right or wrong” (Emerson Self-Reliance). I feel bad about giving up the rut, because I was so used to using my phone every day. But, it’s a good idea to do this Walden plan because I can see other things that I can do that does not involve my phone. My others friend reaction were that they were surprised that I was giving up on my rut. They were saying that I was not going to be able to give up my phone for a week. But, it is not that hard to give up your phone for a week. Instead of just using my phone I started to read novels instead of using my phone.
