Rec | GETTING OFF MY PHONE

📵

I turned on black and white mode on my phone to be on it less, and it lowkey works so well it's crazy. I don't get any of the fun colors, and I realize there's nothing I really need to see on there and put it down.

DO NOT DISTURB!

recently turned off (mostly) all immediate lockscreen notifications bc nothing is ever that important. only phone calls, facetimes, libby, and classpass allowed thru. i also like to schedule notification summaries so my phone tells me just once a day what PI.FYI notifications i’ve collected or what the Pattern app predicts heading my way, astrologically speaking. it’s nice and doesn’t hold my attention for long. pros: seeing texts pile up and feeling like most popular girl in the world, no twitchy reaction everytime phone lights up bc now i know its one of four things, incredible renewed ability to FOCUS on reading or drawing or literally anything else, not being pulled into depths of phone as much cons: was trying to sell a chair and accidentally ignored this poor sweet girl for days, even on the nights she was free to pick up chair…like just forgot ab it… thankfully she just showed up and conversed w my roommate like olden times and i was hollered at while watching Love is Blind i’m also switching to greyscale so it makes everything look boring. i need all the help i can get i’ll be so fr this wretched device!!!!

making my phone “dumb”

as a side effect of my job (and being me): I am chronically online and trying to fix that. this is my new home screen on my iPhone 15 Pro. I installed an app blocker so that when I shift into my custom minimal focus, only the default apps and what is on my home screen function. its only been a few days but this paired with journaling when I’m “bored” instead of endlessly scrolling has already had a positive effect on my mental health. I can still freely browse on my desktop, but my phone is slowly turning into less and less of a dopamine sink and I think I’m gonna stick with it!!
