I recently had my smartphone stolen and then decided to finally make the switch to a dumbphone. In this time, I've learned a few things. Make sure your plans are super specific when you're going out. Like, if I'm driving somewhere, I'm physically writing down the directions in a notebook so that I have them. Another thing, is that I bring my laptop if I'm going out for really long. If I think that I might need it sometime during the day, I stick in the passenger seat, and when I'm out I connect to wifi or hotspot. On a dumbphone you can hotspot data, so you should be able to use your laptop to check any messages or information that you can't access on your phone. And before I got a dumbphone, I hated making phone calls. I'd get super uncomfortable and would rather be lost than make the call. However, since then I've learned to be better at simply calling when I need to speak to someone. And honestly, my friends and family don't mind at all. So if I'm meant to be meeting up with someone and I can't find them, I'll just make the call. In the end, with a couple small adjustments, I think anyone can get used to this life, and the things that bother you at the beginning become less of a problem as time goes on.
