i just deleted many useless apps off of my phone and I am listening to esperanza spalding. i am becoming an intellectual next I am going to download elevate and find a book to read tomorrow. wish me luck
i figured iβm probably a phone addict (arent we all?), so in addition to not keeping my phone in my pocket while iβm at home and muting notifications for every app except phone and messages, i deleted almost ever non-necessary app and put all the apps i use most on my home screen. hopefully this makes me smarter π if anyone has done something like this and has suggestions/advice lmk
Iβve been struggling with phone addiction recently (ironic, but I feel like this is more like journaling, like a gratitude journal in a way, anyways), so much so, that I downloaded a damn app to block instagram, because the default apple screen time blockers are too easy to bypass. And still I find myself picking up my phone. Ideally, I would like to stop this habit, which will take some work. So for now, I have been aiding myself by redirecting the habit. I pick up my phone and instead, and I read a little. I was really against ebooks before, but I just had to give them a good old try. And I really enjoy it now! It is specially great that I can get these books for free from my library! Seriously, give it a try. A good way to start reading again. Reading is good for you π
I recently switched over to a Nokia 2780 and I feel better but I crave the scroll! I am trying to remain strong and believe that this will be good for me.
So far I have found benefitted from reading way more (read the entirety of Eve Babitz Sex and Rage on Sunday), being far less anxious about the state of the world, and listening to the albums I own and remembering songs that mean so much to me.
But I am in a moment of weakness. A moment of doubt. Help. Tell me it will be worth it.
