Dependent

It's been almost a month. How am I?
Lately, I've been spending too much.
My phone died on me the time I need it the most in terms of my life and business.

It served its purpose BIG time. I am thankful, but why now?
That experience made me realize how dependent I am on my mobile phone.

It also tested my resourcefulness and patience.

These are what I learned about this experience:

  • BACK UP! I do this now and then, but in the past weeks (or months), tinamad talaga ako. 
    And that cost me my important NOTES, my latest PHOTOS, my files in NUMBERS (the excel type on my expenses on all my trips for the past 3-4 years.

    Good thing was I sent that most important Note on my personal email, the latest photos I think were available on my camera, or online and the Number files I already inputted in my Travel master file. In summary, I felt bad but I need a new start.

  • TAKE CARE of my belongings. I know, this applies in people as well.

    You will realize its importance when it's gone. This is the truth.
    But I thought that it needed this break/death (I want to fix it). I abused it.
    The only time my phone rested was when I was sleeping.

    It made me think of taking care of myself, my eyes, I needed a break too of this dependency on my phone.

  • SAVE your passwords not only in mind, but somewhere.

    The worst case happened as well that my old sim is not working on my new phone (WTH!).
    That number was all connected to all the verification on my banks, emails, online accounts and iTunes!
Imagine these realizations. Gosh. This is the reality - the dependency on mobile phones.
The necessity and convenience it is giving - now I am enjoying my new phone and will take care of it.
I will maximize it to the fullest, of course.

Hopefully, there will be no problem in the next years to come. 
Aja!
