CASE STUDY
As I mentioned in the introduction, the best way to explain the steps in this book is to give you
specific examples of how I implemented each step to eliminate a habit I once engaged in on a
daily basis.
Like many people, I spend a lot of time on the Internet and immersed in the digital world in
general. This is usually a positive habit because it helps me maintain a high level of productivity;
however, I eventually developed the bad habit of spending too much time on my cellphone when
I wasn’t in front of a computer. By scanning email, looking at business stats, reading pointless
“click bait” articles or checking social media, I once wasted a lot of my time on my cellphone.
In May 2014, I read a great article about the idea of taking “digital sabbaticals.” The idea here is
to dedicate a day every week (or month) to completely unplug from the digital world. While I
frequently do this during the summertime, I decided to take this idea and create a “cellphone
sabbatical habit” where I completely disconnect for most of the day.
Obviously, this is a vague outcome that’s almost impossible to track. But as you’ll see later in
the book, I was able narrow down this concept and turn it into an actionable strategy. As a result,
I no longer fiddle around my phone when I’m trying to relax.
