Detachment is one of my favorite virtues to practice. Just the other day I removed to the trash a few games on my phone. This would have led me to fill in my time with nonsensical busyness. Regardless of how high my levels of play were, I moved them calmly to the trash can on my phone. It felt freeing and it also showed me later in the day, how addicted I was to it. Because the first thing I did when I picked up my phone was to go to those games. From time to time this is a good practice it helps build the strength to let go of other things that may seem hard to do. 

I really believe when we start unloading all the unnecessary stuff, we collect in one's lifetime, it truly is easier and freeing to do more important things like time with God. You'll never say I don't have time for that.

Detachment helps us to focus on God. Just like my example about my phone games, I would get a feeling or thought that I should be reading something spiritual. But instead I would say to myself later, this is how we so easily offend God by choosing something that is uttertly unimportant.

By practicing detachment, we are not worrying about what we have or what we need to still obtain but experiencing freedom. It really is a freeing experience to let go of things that occupy our time. Don't get me wrong it wasn't easy in the beginning but as I do this more and more it gets easier. Notice how I mentioned DO because it is a constant practice, because our nature always wants to resort to habit.
