How long do you think you can you go without checking your phone?

A few years ago we wenton a family holiday to Dubai. It was approximately a month long trip. I made sure that I packed my phone and anything else I may have needed into my hand luggage. I was all set....
We had a few hours remaining before the connecting flight and I put my phone to charge in the airport lounge area, AND LEFT IT THERE!!!
I forgot my phone at the airport and had to spend 26 days without it :(
I went 26 days without checking my phone! I felt kind of lost and helpless without it.

Normally I would not give two hoots about my phone. But I am in sales, and of course I need to be constantly checking for phone calls, texts, emails etc. For me that phone is an extension of my living and so I need to be checking it quite often so I don't miss out on money.

Oh my what a terrible thing to happen to you lose your phone in an airport.
Well the only reason I check mine a lot is because I have home security cameras on it.
Otherwise I dont bother with it, no one calls me.

I hope you still enjoyed your holiday, although I'm sure at the back of your mind you still thought of your phone, I think the most I have gone is about 2 days when the battery was being problematic and the charger wasn't working, I have recently learned to live without being dependant on my phone though as I have gone about 6 or 7 months with phone issues and have been using it less and less.

Hours. I need to check it on a daily basis for family emergencies or client concerns.

Well it's a bad experience for you. Phone is very important especially when you are traveling. Now you have learned a lesson.
