when my phone battery died
Modern Classics
I open my favourite book
Again
and
again
and
again
and
again
and
again
and you get stuck
between the pages you couldn't open...
when you
just wanted to see your message...
connection ...
disconnection ...
And you wonder ...
who was it from ...
and
you were waiting again
and all you've missed is driving you crazy
because you don't know what to do and where to go
and
you just feel lost ...?
Because all you see on the pages
is this screen
which
doesn't seem to be working
what will you do next?
Try using the Oblique Strategies to find your own way of solving that dilemma...
Look at the order in which you do things
Would anybody want it?
A very small object - its centre
Don't stress one thing more than another
Discover your formulas and abandon them
It is quite possible (after all)
Cut a vital connection
Make what is perfect more human
Listen to the quiet voice
What are you really thinking about just now?
Is there something missing?
Go find it.
The most important thing is the thing most easily forgotten
Once the search has begun, something will be found
What mistakes did you make the last time?
Disconnect from desire
Is it finished?
Every story has its ending
Even this one
Shut the door and listen from the outside
LOOK UP
This is what life without your phone looks like
(you draw it)
It is not even behind this screen
You have to
GET OUT OF THE FRAME
Think twice before you switch on again. Would you want your life to be filled with misused moments of scrolling your thumb over and over again? If you can read this you are happy enough to be able to look not only at your screeen but the whole world. Sent
Think twice before you switch It is out there waiting forread you to on again. If you can this play...you are happily enough to be able to look not only at your Seen screeen but the whole world. And the whole world is not inside your phone.
