We heard it before. Stay away from the mobile phone and you’ll feel better.

The cause for staying away from one’s phone has found a new ‘talent’, Simon Cowell. In an interview with the Daily Mail said Simon Cowell revealed that he hasn’t touched his mobile phone in 10 months because it was making him distracted and irritated.

“The difference it made was that I became more aware of the people around me and way more focused,” Cowell, 58, is quoted as saying. “It has been so good for my mental health. It’s a very strange experience but it really is good for you and it has absolutely made me happier.”
