Rec | MAKE YOUR NEXT PHONE INTO A DUMB PHONE

📵

This obviously works just as well with your current phone but if you are getting a new phone anyways I recommend you to start out fresh with a minimal amount of apps and no social media. My old phone was 5 years old and slowly dying so I thought what better way to get away from social medias than starting on a clean slate

no dumbphone is the way to go

I've been researching purchasing a dumb phone on and off for about a year and have realized that, even if we don't want to be, there are so many things that require us to have a phone nowadays - whether it be for work, school, or going out, a phone is required almost everywhere. if you are really struggling with phone addiction, delete all the social media apps off of your phone (keep the accounts you have for now) and whittle down your apps to the absolute basics. for me, I just have Spotify, my navigation app, and my school/work/banking necessities. you are able to redownload apps or look websites up online, but you also need to put the commitment in yourself. I've been starting to use my phone less and less (average screen time is around five hours) but I also know that I still have work to do. if you want any more useful tips let me know!

dumbing down your phone

have been toying of the idea of switching to a dumb phone for a while but decided i may as well start by seeing what i can do with this phone first. deleted all unnecessary/time-wasting apps, adjusted settings to make phone less stimulating, and while i was at it i redesigned my homescreen to reduce clutter and fit the old tech vibe i’m manifesting for myself!!! was a tedious process but i’m happy with the results, using my phone already feels less overwhelming overall :) (btw if anyone is interested in lobotomizing their phone this is the guide i followed)

DUMBING DOWN YOUR SMARTPHONE

Absolutely cannot take credit for this (my husband hipped me to the concept). Basically, you delete or hide most of your apps so you’re down to a bare minimum. I could probably stand to chop a couple more… but the idea is, you have less readily distracting you on your phone! Here’s my new home screen.
