My favorite part of going camping is unplugging for a couple of days at a time.

I used to take week long trips to Maine with my dad to learn to make furniture. Those were some of the most relaxing and restorative weeks I've ever experienced. 8+ hours of physical work, go home and shower. Then walk around the downtown or go hiking (skip the shower in that case). Eat out or cook dinner, read a book. Never touched a computer, and minimally used my phone (more on the last trip because I'd just started the relationship which is now a marriage). And I only used the phone for communicating with specific individuals (close friends, family) not mindless web browsing and games.

Then you return and there's an underwhelming number of notifications. You're caught up in about the same amount of time as if you left for an hour.

I started doing it. Or at least turning off data so I am still reachable.
