No Phone
I got rid of my iphone and bought a flip phone. the TCL Flip 4 (since T mobile is my provider). I love it I feel so free not having a phone. I am still on screens quiet a bit as I have my computer (which I am on now) and I have my TV. But it is nice not having the compulsion to check my phone all the time and I have not been consuming hardly any short-form content. I know this may sound cheesey but my overall mood and outlook is different since I can feel my dopamine receptors not being constantly fried, smaller tasks are easier to focus on. I have been drawing and reading more. And being in public spaces looking around more instead of on my phone has been nice. I keep my old phone in my car, it has no service and I have deleted everything off it except for my maps and apple music. I have music downloaded and the apple map of the greater city area downloaded so I can still get around fine. If anyone is considering getting a dumb phone I say do it! It has been so nice recently. No more scrolling for hours for me!
