Wow that is amazing. No phone. I have had my phone on vibrate for years so sometimes I hear it, not all the time. I think it is really important, why do we drop what were are doing to respond to a sound. I recently got a watch, so now I will not be distracted by my phone when I check the time. I do love the camera on my phone. Maybe I will get a separate camera? Good things to think about. I love the idea of being present!

My husband has never had a phone, he refuses to have one but I much prefer not to have one. It is crazy that we instantly respond to any sound coming from them, they certainly are a distraction. Yes I read that, a Hello Kitty one! My daughter loves Hello Kitty!!
Hahaaa, yes I always feel like the odd one out when I get a camera out of my bag to take a photo... nothing wrong with it though. Yes! I always say nothing is that urgent, other parents always look at me like I'm crazy as they feel the need to be contactable 24/7 by their kids. If something is wrong there is always someone else they could go to. If they can't reach me (and I'm usually at home anyway) they could call my husband on his landline in his office. If hes not in his office they can leave a message, he's never away for long.
My Mum always takes her phone walking and not to listen to music either... I'll call and she'll be huffing and puffing and I'll say to her what are you doing? She tell me I'm on my walk. I always say to her well why are you answering your phone then, you're busy! She always says can I call you back and I say to her, see you could not answer and still know I've called and still call me back when you are ready. She doesn't seem to get it.
I like "me" time... where I'm not contactable and no one can bother me : )
