Mix of Internet

Ik I’m not one of those health influencers, but idgaf.

I’m on my phone too much. It’s to the point where I kinda hate my phone. Tho, I don’t wanna abandon it either. I kinda just wanna have a life again, yk? So, I’ve been trying to figure out a system to work for me and I think, I THINK I might have it?

First of all, you need to make your life interesting enough (without burning out ofc) where you’ll barely ever get bored enough to go on your phone. That cut my screentime in half.

Secondly, you need to make your phone boring. Turn your phone into a dumb phone with that one app. Hide the scroll-able social media that you don’t want to mainly use. Turn all your colors to black and white. Along with this, by using the dumb phone (and focus friend if you want) you can block apps without easily being able to override it.

However, in this process, I never wanted to fully give up the internet, I love my fandoms and shit too much to give that. up entirely. So, that leads to step 3:

Thirdly, manage what you watch. I know this will be difficult for both me and you if you’re actually following this plan (which I doubt), but you’ll have to be disciplined and purposely manage it instead of just scrolling. I will be getting a notebook where I will log this everyday. With each thing I consume, I’m gonna be taking notes and turning all of that into a digital garden. I will probably be taking notes on the journal app on my phone and then transferring it to either obsidian or google docs (I think ima do obsidian, but obsidian seems too complicated for my taste)

Forthly, I’m gonna replace some of the things I do (like scrolling) with different and smaller activities and use less obsessive social media (like this!).

Thank you for reading this, I just really wanted to yap abt this.
