It's so tempting, but I haven't been able to fully commit to a dumb phone! Instead, I tried to make my smartphone a lil bit dumber by:
- using a minimal launcher app (I use OLauncher) to basically limit your home screen and make it boring - deleting most social media apps and only checking them occasionally in a web browser where they're harder to scroll on and kind of annoying to use - turning off history on apps like YouTube so they can't give me recommendations, meaning I really only use it when I have something in mind that I want to look up - turning off notifications for non-messaging based apps-- even pi.fyi - only having time waster games that you aren't forced to check regularly, like I love hue

deleting apps you don't need + decluttering apps off the home screen if you don't use it everyday, viewing or deleting every visible notification, and tucking instagram deep in the "other apps" group so i can slowly train myself not to just open it on autopilot when i look at my phone. what's your ideal home screen?

In addition to what others have already suggested, I’ve had pretty good luck with creating a separate screen for apps I’m ”allowed” any time while deleting or putting on a different screen/folder the apps I’m trying to limit. So for example my email, texts, notes app, DuoLingo and Kindle app are the only ones visible, encouraging me to read or write or study or catch up with friends rather than scroll infinitely on social media. That way if I’m still struggling to limit overall screen time (which I try to do by leaving my phone on the charger most of the day when possible), I feel like I’m at least making better use (for me personally) of the screen time I might be craving. 😅
