摘录：我就像是来自另一个宇宙的外星人，贴着荧屏观察着人类社会。

　　Do you want to get more sleep？ Do you wish you had extra time in your day？ Interested in generally enjoying the world around you？ Then turn off your smartphone for a day。 That's what I did this week， and let me tell you， giving up your security blanket — I mean iPhone — is liberating。

　　At 7：15 a。m。 my alarm went off。 Usually this would be my cue to grab my phone and start my morning Internet routine： Check work email。 Reply to urgent work emails。 Check personal email。 Reply to urgent personal emails。 Read morning news digests sent to my inbox。 Check Facebook。 Check Ins。 Check email one more time。 Force。 Myself。 To。 Get。 Out。 Of。 Bed。 Sound familiar？

　　你想睡更多的觉么？你希望每天拥有更多的睡眠么？感兴趣于享受周围的世界？那么关掉你的手机一天。我这周做了这件事，让我告诉你，放弃你的安全栏—我的意思是手机—解放了。

　　上午7：15我的闹钟响了。通常这会是我拿起手机，开始我互联网早晨路线的暗示：检查工作邮件。回复紧急工作邮件。检查私人邮件。回复紧急私人邮件。读发到我收件箱的邮件。检查脸谱网。检查图片分享。再一次检查邮件。我得起床，听起来很熟悉？

　　Instead， it went something like this： Get out of bed。 Take a shower。 Get dressed。 Make coffee。 Open laptop。 Read email， social media， and news while leisurely enjoying my coffee。 Head to the office。 Get there 20 minutes earlier， since I got out of bed 20 minutes earlier。 Thanks to ditching my phone， my morning felt way longer and more relaxed。

　　But let's get back to that journey to work。 My phone usually plays a big part in it。 I call my mom on my 15—minute walk to the subway or listen to podcasts or music。 This day I was faced with a solitary walk， free of distractions。 And I liked it！ I let my mind wander。 I noticed the architectural details on the homes I passed。 I discovered that on a clear day， you can see the very tip of the Golden Gate Bridge peaking out above the homes on my hilly street。 My gut reaction： quick， where's my phone so I can snap a pic for Ins？ But instead， I had to enjoy it all by myself。 The walk through my San Francisco neighborhood felt like my little secret。
