Ed Sheeran recently revealed in an interview that he has ditched the use of cellphones since 2015 and communicates solely via email.

He decided to rid himself of the phone after feeling constantly overwhelmed with messages and calls, consequently missing out on ‘face-to-face’ interaction.

Ed believes that excessive phone use limits creativity and leads to a lack of time for reflection and ideas. Instead, he prefers to spend his free time thinking about song lyrics or planning his career.

By ditching the smartphone, Ed has also eliminated the pressure to respond instantly to messages, opting to reply to emails only once a week. He believes this reduces the expectation of an immediate response and allows for more thoughtful replies.
