When couples can't commit to a digital detox together

My husband and I keep talking about doing a digital detox together but every time we try to set a start date, one of us finds a reason to postpone - work deadlines, social commitments, or just the terror of being bored together without our phones. We've been 'planning' to reset for six months and I'm starting to think we're afraid of what we'll discover about ourselves without the constant distraction.
