How your video could look:
- Day 1: The Start – Document your initial thoughts and feelings when you put the smartphone away. What do you immediately miss?
- In Between: The Challenges – Share moments when you realize how much you rely on your smartphone. Were you bored? Did you feel like you were missing something?
- Day 7: Conclusion and Reflection – After a week: What has changed? Do you feel liberated or happy the experiment is over? Would you recommend it to your viewers?
Tips for Implementation:
