The Cell Phone Addiciton Challenge: Can You Do It?

• Never have a conversation longer than 5 minutes. (Including a text message conversation.)
• Don't use your cell more than a half hour per day.
• Don't talk on it while you're walking to class. Be open to having conversations with the people right in front of you!
• Turn it off except when you really need it or your parents might need to get in touch with you.
• Don't hold it in your hand while you walk around.
• Don't look at it every time it rings if you're in a deep conversation with someone else.
• Don't have it on during mealtimes. Show the people you are eating with that they are important to you.
• Don't interrupt conversation with your friends to answer the phone unless it's your parents or another important person, not just another friend who wants to chat. Interrupting is rude and shows everyone that your phone is your idol and being rude is caring more for yourself than others.
• Never talk on it in a restaurant, in a class or in the library.
• Make talking in person more important than texting or talking on the phone.
• Manage your minutes and don't let your cell phone become your master. God's Word says we can't serve 2 masters. (Luke 16:13)
