Losing your phone for a day is either a disaster or a vacation. Which one tells you something.

Your reaction to being without it tells you what the phone is really doing for you. If the first feeling is relief, a good share of your use is obligation rather than choice: people expecting answers, feeds that have turned into chores. If the first feeling is dread, it is worth knowing precisely what you are afraid of missing.

Try one evening with it in another room and see which feeling turns up. Whatever you reach for the second you get it back is the part worth examining.
