The deadline for the entry is January 8, 2019. Guidelines to assist a successful transition note: not legally binding. at all. 1) you may not use any smartphone for 365 days. if texting is a pleasant experience or you can get on the internet, it’s probably a smartphone. This means you may not physically operate, caress, hug or otherwise be physically affectionate with anyone’s smartphone. if you’re lying in bed and miss your phone, do not attempt to sneak a midnight scroll…just close your eyes and dream about vitaminwater®. that’s what we do. every night. and sometimes at the office.
