Escapism for the mind - your bi-monthly dose of Fernweh.
Turning your phone on flight mode is scary: what if you miss something important?
I spent last week offline (or as offline as I could be; it turns out I'm very reliant on Google Maps...), and it was magical. I explored new places, napped after long drives and swam in the sea. Time was irrelevant, and I followed my gut instincts (literally, the only schedule that mattered was when I was hungry or not).
I'd challenge you to do the same, or - at the very least - book a staycation away from the buzz of the city. Your mind and body will thank you.
