My name is Hannah and I am recording my journey going through the Bored and Brilliant Challenges from the book Bored and Brilliant: How Spacing Out Can Unlock Your Most Productive and Creative Self by Manoush Zomorodi. These assignments are meant to help you disconnect from your phone, thereby helping you live in the moment and come up with ideas more easily. I am doing this as an assignment for a class I’m taking. I am curious to learn how much I actually use my phone and learn how to manage my time on it more effectively.
I have often struggled with using my phone as an escape from other things in my life, as well as to keep me from being bored. I have noticed that it has negative effects on my ability to focus. I want to be more in the moment, along with learning how to spend time doing my other hobbies instead of staring at my phone for hours each day.
(P.S. This is me in Italy! All the pictures on this website were taken on my trip to Italy last May.)
