A few weeks ago I ended up turning off cellular data again to try to improve my productivity and increase my attention span. I began on a Tuesday I think but kept forgetting to blog about it until today. Here are my thoughts from during the experiment, edited for coherence.
This time, I've included a random selection of HDR images I've taken of varying quality :P
Tuesday

Finished the Verge article on the
secret history of the iPhone.

Wednesday
Read this fascinating article on the
history of pockets.
Haven't been able to stay off mobile data completely, need to check timetables and communicate. But at least I have been staying off Facebook and Reddit more. Makes me more mindful of it.

underground music piracy scene in the 1990's.

The Weekend
Saturday I was at a friend's place so was occupied.
Sunday didn't need data as I was on wifi. Then I went out and met a friend, didn't need data as I was with company and could coordinate over SMS.

Monday and Tuesday
I didn't write it down, but I remember running out of cellular data on my plan so that forced me not be tempted. I don't remember what I read, maybe just more of The Idiot Brain.
