I decided not carrying the phone with me while i'm taking a walk. do you agree with me?

I would take it with me in case I needed it for an emergency but I'd turn it off.

I have mine with me, but I have it set to turn on the “do not disturb” feature, so it’s the best of both worlds: nobody can contact me, but I still have it in case of emergency. By the way, congratulations!!

I can only say "CONGRATULATIONS"! Cellphones are part of the latest addictions of this century.

You took the right decision.

I too never carry my phone when I go out for walk.And sometimes when I carry it;I keep it in my pocket until it rings.I never use it unnecessarily while walking.

I carry mine when I leave the house. I've never fallen with the exception of one time at home, and once several years ago I fell on a friend's patio on a stupid rug I didn't see, and broke my arm. The phone goes on my walks and treks. No, I don't always answer it, but if I personally need it, I can call for assistance for myself or for my son.

I always have my phone with me..I listen to podcasts while walking, and also, it is for safety..plus I might want to take a picture.

Everyone here has said what I was thinking.

I would take it for an emergency; but I would turn it off. Have a good weekend.

For me, it would be wiser to bring it. In case of any emergency or something happens to you, at least you have a phone. You can turn it off or put it on silent mode anyways if I do not want to be bothered.

I always take my phone with me. But I am anxious and I need it. I don't take walks, but I always have my phone. Maybe I feel sick and I need to call an ambulance.

i have my phone with me, but sound is off, wifi is off, mobile data is off. i-ll be available when i want to

that's the best way to cut the distraction...

I do not disagree with you . It is always better to carry out our things while not being anxious of missing calls . It is not simple worth it. I do carry my phone around me although not much at home. I do not pick up calls while I am walking or driving. Those calls can wait. And i totally agree with you that we should have -" Our " time and not let some calls spoil that. I also check the calls and if spam , chose not to attend them .It is waste of time for me. With that practice I am able to avoid most of unwanted calls. So, if the practice is helping you , I would say stick with it .We should be relaxed and enjoying not stressed all the time.

Yes we need to get away from the monster phones.

I think the best way is what Four Walls suggested - turn on the "do not disturb" function. That way you still have your phone on in case you need to make an emergency call, but you won't have to stress about whether someone will call you. Also, having your phone is handy to check the time or the weather or if you see something cool and want to take a picture!
