I find myself on my phone way more than I want to be. It is a distraction. However, for everything it does distract me from, it still is a useful tool.

I have tired usage blocking apps. But since I can just turn it off - it doesn't really work.

I take pictures to remember things, and I worry that the light phone not having a camera will be a problem... but I am also just thinking I could just write things down I guess.

Anyway I'm just wondering if any of you switched to a dumb phone and have noticed a positive impact on your life.

I looked up something like this a while ago and bought a Unihertz Jelly Pro. I think there's a newer version now. Fully fledged android phone but it's absolutely tiny. The idea is you can still use it for anything, any time (bank, gps, any other app). But it's so impractical you'll never want to chill on it scrolling through lemmy whilst procrastinating for example.
