Challenge: Avoid the usage of screen for a huge amount of time

      To introduce you to the topic, our teacher Mrs.Xenia challenged us to do a "screen detox". This means that we would avoid using any screens for at least 4 hours. In the beginning I was very worried on how to complete it because as usual for me, I used to spend a lot of hours in front of any kind of screens like my smartphone, my PC or my TV.

       Well I didn't have the opportunity to complete the full-day challenge but I managed to do it for like 5-6 hours. One of the things I did without a screen was to write in a piece of paper my thoughts, my feelings, and my plans for the future. Also I ended up writing a lot of things about quarantine and how it affected my life but I guess it's not the right page to discuss it.

        After an hour of non-stop writing,  I got bored. However, the fact that I had had a plan before starting this challenge saved my life. Actually, I've planned to collect all the computers of the house and we did a maintenance. Basically we opened them (yes, deep inside) and we kind of cleaned them and at the same moment we managed to educate ourselves learning every part of the computer hardware and how they all work together. In addition, we had a computer which was broken and my mom in order to let us work and remain together, challenged us to make it work. IMPOSSIBLE! Yes it was, actually we couldn't manage to fix it. But at least we managed to find the error and collaborate. 

       When the experiment came to its end I felt stupid because we kind of used a screen, but it never actually opened so I guess I did it! And to be honest I enjoyed it very much. I probsbly prefer spending 6 hours in that way rather than spending 6 hours playing PS4 and breaking the walls from my rage...

Thank you for reading my blog. Peace!
