Instead of looking at the phone screen constantly, checking for emails, FB posts, etc. I am spending more face time with people (family, friends, clients).

No regrets plus I have zero security issues to worry about.

Takes a while to get used to being partially disconnected from the world, but you get used to it in a good way.
We are doing very well thank you ! Family and friends is actually one of the main reasons I started "Disconnecting" less important data when I'm not at the computer.

I think we are turning into puppets and everywhere we go you see people pulling up the phone as soon as they sit down at a restaurant, stopping at the red light. Even if you are in a group of people if 1 phone ring the others will immediately check their phones, read facebook / emails etc.
