Dumbing down your smart phone

i have been on a journey to untangle my tasks from my iPhone. i'd be out in the world someplace, pull out my phone for something as menial as checking the time, or as well intentioned as capturing the moment in a pic, and immediately get sucked into texts and instagram™️ and all the virtual things happening in this tiny lil demon light box. the goal: pull my phone out of my bag ONLY for phone things. that's texting, calling, and apps that can't be replaced the solutions so far: 🕰️ i started with a watch (shoutout Casio) and i wear it every day. once I broke the habit of checking my phone for the time, I felt legitimately freed from something Major 📷 I bought a small digital camera to leave in my bag. the pics look better and I don’t get distracted by the virtual world when I'm trying to capture something in the now 📚 I bought a kindle. It fits in my jacket pocket (literally) and gives me something to do when I'm on the train or waiting for an appointment that isn't scrolling I just realized so much of the time I spent on my phone was not intentional. It was a thing I was doing in between Other intentional moments. my screen time is still several hours a day (don’t get me wrong) but I think my brain has healed at least 3%. welcoming other ideas as well💡

itemised breakdown

1st an elaboration on ur screen time- what apps do u use the most? think of why. 2nd then find substitutions for them. for example ive replaced phone time with laptop time for when im at home ive replaced phone when outside and bored or in transit with reading a book or observeing the world around me. interrogate why you spend so my time on your phone; and what else you could be doing. remeber we all go thru peaks and troughs.... stay strong queen.

using A.I. for art instead of using it to fix problems such as poverty, climate change etc is fucking weird art is a way people cope with human existence and express feelings as well as share and pass down culture why tf is A.I. in the mix its weird to me

Didnt know who i was and that helped me find myself

TW: drugs and psychosis i was in active addiction 4 years ago and was going on a 4 day streak of a bender where i decided to go to a party do meth (ik) and drink and smoke (more) weed i was so out of it that when i had to leave (never drive UTI) it looked like i was driving through a forest under water when i got back to my friends place her mom said their family cat (who was v old) was dying and she wanted us to say good to him when i looked at the cat it looked like it was turned inside out and its inside were rotting i felt sick to my stomach and hid in her room where i began to question everything what i had seen, what i was doing, and finally who i was and if the thoughts i had were mine or someone else's- it was a lot it was from there i kinda realized there was more and now im here sober and a changed woman the end
