Connectivity is useful until disconnection begins feeling impossible.

STILLNESS
Staying connected is a genuine good right up to the point where switching off feels like a transgression. Then the same capability has become an obligation, and the ability to be temporarily unavailable has been lost without anyone deciding to give it up.
Test it. Be unreachable for half a day and see what the actual consequences are. They are almost always smaller than the anxiety predicted, and knowing that makes the connection feel like a choice again.
What stops you from leaving your phone behind for a day?
Free, with nothing to buy inside it.
