Media Fast

I chose to do my Media Fast starting Friday night and ending Saturday night but it was a lot harder than I thought it was going to be. I chose this day because I was going to DC Friday night and I knew I wouldn't have to talk to anyone except for the people I was with. Friday night it was easy not to use my cell phone or my computer because I didn't have either of them with me. I cheated when I went to a club and, naturally, music was playing the whole time. I think in that circumstance, media was not negatively effecting my relationship with my friends but strengthening it because we all danced together and bonded more over good music. The next day wasn't hard either because my phone died during the drive back from DC at 7:00 am. As soon as I got home at 9:30 am, I went to bed until 11:30 am and then woke up and went to work until 6:00 pm. I have to use a radio/walkie talkie at work, constantly. I also kept checking my phone for the time because I didn't have a watch. After work, I was hosting a party and a friend of mine was coming to visit so I had to use my phone to make plans. When guests arrived, I put my phone away. I listened to music at the party. I never watched any TV.
I realize I cheated a lot more than I should have but I am, by nature, the type of person whom makes all the plans and expects everyone else to contact for questions. I am aware of the fact that I am very dependent on my cell phone and though sometimes I wish I didn't have one, I know I wouldn't function well without it.
