My wife and I decided not to use our phones two days every week, mainly the weekend days. Last weekend was our first try and it was actually interesting 
. Since I use my phone for mylotting too, I'm not able to be here during this period. But this is a good thing because we became addicted to our phones, we need some "us" time too .
Dunno if it will work, but it's worth a shot

That is great. Far to many people spend more time on their phones then they do actually talking and spending time with their spouses. I think it will be a wonderful idea, everybody needs "us" time.

We thought so too. We need real comunication and keeping our eyes glued to the phone is not helping. Now I'm on the bus, I'm going to take back my car (some repairs were needed). This means I have two hours to spend on the phone. Decided to go for Mylot .

We spend time together, but we need some quality time, sometimes the little things are very important. Mobiles became an addiction nowadays

What about incoming calls. Have you switched off your phones totally?

@Kasjnak That is a very health approach towards bonding real relationships

Not totally, the calls are ok. We decided to avoid Facebook, YouTube and WhatsApp, mainly no internet, we wanted to spend more time together (for real). Today is the second day of this week, but right now I'm on a two hours bus trip. Time for some mylotting .

Nice . Even if my laptop is ok, I almost never use it, everything I do, I do it on my phone. Mylotting included .

I have a brand new laptop and I never use it. Almost 
. Not enough time for it, using my phone is simpler. And if I try to open the laptop, my son is all over the keyboard, so it would be a real challenge to post anything .

I use my phone only for making calls and getting them--I do not take them when I live home!

We still use them for calls, and the idea was to forget about them when we are together. Now I'm on the bus and she's at home, we have no restrictions for these situations . Don't think we'll miss anything, if there is something we must know, people call us

Sometimes not having a phone is a good thing! We started a rule not having phones by our bed, just to avoid the checking phones late at night.
That has really helped

@DocAndersen good. These days it's hard to see someone without a phone in their hand. We need to spend more real time together .

@Kasjnak that is our rule in our house. It allows us to still be available for work, in emergencies, but spend time together as well!!!

Yes, it's a nice way to kick of this 'phone' addiction.

That is a good resolution. Do it for 21 days and you will perfect this during every weekend.

It is good, because it will give time for you and your family to interact more. Congrats for that!
