For anyone who has tried this doing this help?

I'm trying to give up all technology except for my computer for a week. For anyone who has gone a certain amount of time completely or almost completely without technology. Does it improve mental health and/or make the person happier? Also depending on if you deal with stuttering/stammering, does no technology help with this? I deal with stuttering quite badly and am tired of being laughed at in public places so I want to get rid of my stuttering or improve it. So far my production in the day has been noticeably better. I started reading a book and went for a workout.

Wait why give up tech except computer?
To do dopamine fast u have to be off, of computer as well, otherwise its like im stopping to eat cakes but im still gonna eat cupcakes, its not gonna work like that.

EXpierence yes try for day or two without turning computer on, technologies like oven, toaster is still fine to use they dont give dopamine spikes.
Definetly mentality changes and u start to get dopamine from cleaning house or taking out trash. Cus dopamine levels have dropped where those activities now give u boost instead of dragging down.

I have a vacation house on an island and there is no internet. I have a television antenna and get about a dozen channels and I listen to the radio,. I also rent DVDs from DVD. com. I get cell phone service with my old flip phone. No computer or email. No cable TV and no social media. I have been going there all my life. When I was a little kid we had no telephone (landline) or TV. We just had an old AM radio. I am used to it.
