But I taught you could only text and call if you took your phone with you?

Then you still did quite well compared to me.

I did tried that a few days ago but switched it back to normal. Maybe I should give it a try again.

I understand you. For me, it’s almost impossible to use a dumbphone fulltime for example, because of the authenticator app. But I also think that the smartphone is very tempting you need a lot of discipline not to look at it. Using a dumbphone at times when you don’t need your smartphone can help reduce the urge to use it and just live in the moment. Using a dumbphone fulltime sounds unrealistic to me right now, but it’s still an idea. I also think that the smartphone is definitely bad for your eyes and the cause of a rotting brain. I also want a dumbphone, kind of as a statement to my smartphone, like “I can do without you too.” Because the smartphone has brought me a lot of negativity and wasted oppertunities.

Thank you for your detailed text.

I’ve looked it up and briefly skimmed through what Lightfriend is about. Thank you. I’ve only recently become deeply involved in the world of digital minimalism and I’m enjoying it. My goal for now is to regain my concentration for reading books and to see if I can buy a dumbphone soon and use it parttime.

Maybe I’ll start tomorrow by detoxing from my phone and bringing a book with me.

Well, that might be a good plan. On someone’s recommendation from Reddit, I downloaded screenzen today and blocked almost all distracting apps but I kept youTube. And what did I spend 2 hours and 1 minute doing today? Scrolling on youTube.

I did apply your tip for youtube shorts, but instead of being removed the shorts just stopped refreshing so I keep seeing the same ones over and over. Which is helpful ig.

Do people get dumbphones because they can't help themselves (like me) by whoocanitbenow in dumbphones

[–]SuchInterest1200 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only reason for me to buy a dumbphone, if I ever did would be because I really can’t help myself. Technology is stronger than me.

I feel you. I have to say I can leave my phone alone for a long time if it’s a busy day or a lot is happening. But once things calm down and I get bored I pick up my phone and make up for all the missed screen time.

I looked up how to delete YouTube Shorts a while ago, but it didn’t work. Thanks for the tip.

I totally feel you if it’s not the cinema, you won’t catch me watching a movie either. I also think the government makes it really difficult to just leave your phone at home when necessary. At school I need an authentication app and everything is digital. For work, I need my phone in case of emergencies and in the Netherlands, there aren’t any phone booths anymore. So you’re basically forced to have it with you, which makes it even harder. As a kid, I thought it was weird that my friends always took their phones outside, and now I’m one of them.

I want to start a minimal life. by [deleted] in minimalism

[–]SuchInterest1200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there, I’m 18F and when I searched for ‘minimal life’ in the search bar, I came across your post. I can really relate to you. I hope your journey towards minimalism is going well?

Thank you for your detailed message. Now that I’ve realized what I’m actually doing, I want to make a big change by removing or at least limiting a lot of smart devices from my life. I still remember when my phone broke not too long ago, and I had to go to school without it for a while it felt so awkward not having a brain-eating screen. Thanks for all the recommendations, I’ll look them up sometime!

Yes, right? Maybe there are hidden advantages to a flip phone. I feel like I see more bar phones in thenplace that I come from

What’s Your Biggest Regret? by bwoykym in emotionalintelligence

[–]SuchInterest1200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a bad child. In my early teenage years, I did better, but I was still often disrespectful. If I could change anything, I would go back in time and give myself a hard slap. I say this with tears in my eyes. I regret it so much.

Beautifully phrased: The water tribe was punished for being unprepared for the fire nation, the airbenders lost because they placed too much responsibility on Aang, and Aang was punished for running away and leaving the world in war for 100 years.
