This week I was able to get off of Bucknell’s campus to attend the annual Posse Plus retreat located at camp Hebron about two hours away from Bucknell’s campus. As a person who grew up in a city, I am not always used to being in a secluded forest like the location the retreat was at. I decided to use this opportunity as a “Play somewhere else” experience to foster creativity and inspiration.
Being in the forest and in cabins allowed me to clear my head and gain new perspective on my week. There was also no cell service, which made me rethink how much I actually “needed” to be on my phone during the day. Coming back to school on Monday, I noticed I was significantly more productive as I realized how little I was on my phone. The most surprising part, I didn’t miss my old phone habits and felt refreshed coming from a new location and back onto campus.
