Hmm, like others here I seem to really be missing the point of these minimalist phones besides the straight branding behind them. I think the dumb Nokia feature phones satisfy most of these cases.
Personally I've taken a few steps to minimize time on my phone
1) use a long text password to unlock my phone (I also change the password every few weeks)
2) don't use any apps with endless scrolling
3) turn off notifications and open apps with purpose
These three things have worked out well for me.
- planet-and-halo 5y agoI think the general problem we're trying to correct for is the malfunction of the human mind in the presence of general purpose parallel computing as well as social technology. We're (largely) wired to attend to things sequentially, and we are highly susceptible to social signals. Our minds have parallel processing capabilities, but it's mostly the subconscious parts of our minds that work that way. With constant access to general-purpose computers, we try to start operating more and more in a consciously parallel mode, and this causes a significant amount of stress.
