RE: Reclaiming My Time: The Journey from Smartphone to Flip Phone
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
When I find myself getting too lost on my mobile phone, I will delete apps to break the cycle. A sort of pattern disrupt. I will redownload those addicting apps when I have a long break or when I need to lose myself because of work strain. It can be good to allow ourselves to get occasionally lost. But when losing time is more common, then it becomes an issue. Which is when I will delete those apps for a while. Usually weeks or months at a time.
The idea of going old school does seem like a healthy approach. I'm not ready to make that kind of commitment myself, but I can certainly see the appeal. Best of luck!

You don't really need to make such a drastic choice. I still have the iPhone with data only using the eSIM. I need the iPhone to do stuff. But I carry the flip phone with me as I need it to receive calls and texts. Everything else is postponed. I don't have email set up on it as I process email on the computer. Devices are being put to specific uses rather than doing it all.
Easing your way into less use or more specific use of the iPhone. Makes sense.
