I mean, it was only four days, so it's possible that I would have grown to like it, and it's entirely possible that my experience would be different if I were employed, because it's possible it would be nice to be able to not look at work Slack every thirty seconds while I'm out.
But all that being said, it just wasn't for me. I didn't enjoy it, and even though I hate my Pixel, it's still better than being without a smartphone.
the biggest issue for me in situations like this is having to change my routine, so i can totally feel the unease of not having a working phone like you used to. things that you did automatically (like getting notified of emails) you now have to make an extra effort to check. but you can find a new routine, and eventually get used to it.
