Love this idea! Useful for the “I hate my phone but need it all the time” crowd. plus it’s nice to go on social media on purpose, I love watching reels in bed before I go to sleep. Also shoutout Casio
the7throbin maybe! but I'm not concerned with my screen time. I'm reading a lot more than before which feels good for my brain and attention span :)
It's a goal of mine to buy a new watch within the next two weeks!! we must celebrate every percentage point
i have a portable cd player & i love it to bits… eliminates need for spotify + u look cool
I would love to leave my phone but the thing is I LOVE podcasts and I can't get around without Google Maps because I go to new places all the time. Te be fair, watches are cool so I'm gonna buy one, and pictures made with tiny digital cameras do look better indeed.
checking the time on ur phone to ig pipeline is so real! i broke my phone last year and also bought a casio watch (in pink! what colour did u get??) i'd also recommend carrying a pocket crossword, i'm so wrapped up in cracking it i don't even think to check my phone!
I bought a cat s22 flip and it’s amazing! It still has WhatsApp and Google maps and spotify which I really need. The main reasons that I didn’t want to switch to a proper dumb phone where that I want these apps. It’s just less fun to use thats why it’s so good and my phone time reduced sooo much because of it. It’s the perfect mix between dumb and smart phone. Strongly recommend!
i do not partake myself but i have seen many folks picking up ipods in current year
I am obsessed with the idea. I'm also a big fan fan of this https://youtu.be/Ek2eo5lrZws?si=gu66szRDyauc9awI
My algorythm has been filled with videos like this and people saying how much more they enjoy life.
so real. thinking about the watch and digital camera, already on board with the kindle and or journal for passing time in small moments on train etc
jahnneke I have the canon SX620...bought it close to 3 years ago and it's AMAZING. The only problem is they're getting sort of hard to find online, and they go for $150-200. Worth it though.
Switching to the Nokia 6300 4G last year was the best thing I have ever done in my life. No more FOMO. Never felt more alive.
For me the game changer in this space:
Once I'd deleted all the distracting rabbit hole endless mindless apps, I disable "installing new apps" and asked a friend to change the screen time pin code.
tomato on iphone it is under the "screen time settings" — but the key is that you have to set a screen pin code and not know the pin code.
this is awesome! i also invested in a cheap little alarm clock but i moved recently and i can’t find it in my boxes rn lol… i would still recommend it though!!!
