I am still working on all the fine details, and I have been on the journey for a while now, but ditching my smartphone has been one of the best things I have done in a very long time. My fancy new “dumb phone” came in a couple weeks ago and I have been loving it (Lightohone 3)
I have always been good at “doing nothing”, but not even having the option for the dopamine drop of scrolling whatever has been such a positive experience.
I actually haven’t thought about it THAT much lately because it’s just become my new normal, but yesterday at work I went to the bathroom and there was someone standing at the urinal peeing, and scrolling on their phone… Like you can’t even have that short singular human experience of ripping a hearty piss without distraction??? It made me think a bit deeper about how happy I am that I’ve “fought my way out of the machine” and never let myself get too far gone.
