While I was jumping rope ，my smartphone took a fall to the floor which created cracks （裂缝）on my screen.However，the music kept playing.30 minutes later，I could see only one﹣tenth of my screen while the rest was black.The next morning，I decided not to use it for 24 hours.I felt a sense of calm that day，which led to my not using it for on week.0 ne week ended up becoming 60 days in total without my smartphone.
Here are some advantages I noticed in this challenge.
﹣You'll become "bored"
Without my phone，1 became bored，but my mind went through all kinds of topics，Boredom（无聊）is a perfect way to create new ideas on a business or project，When you are bored，you allow your mind to relax to reach all possibilities.
﹣You'll be able to reduce your "work" hours
A survey found that adults checked their smartphones 85 times a day，or once every 10 minutes.As 1 learned in my challenge，by not having my smartphone，I fell into deep work more easily，so I completed my tasks in a shorter time.
﹣You 'll improve your mental health
Without my phone，I avoided reading negative （负面的）news and comments.While that helped make a big improvement in my mental health，the biggest reason for it was truly communicating with people.It brought me more connections with humans in the real world.I went to more dinners with friends and asked more questions to strangers.
