There are no mentally healthy apps to have. You also have to enforce any rules you make and are always already in a fight that you cannot loose. The smartphone is net negative on mental health. I would only make arguments that you can get distracted really easily if you are too focused on something bad. Like today if you become a stalker you really need to be ill because there is so much distraction with the phone that it's hard to see someone healthy become a stalker.
My solution is to do activities where you don't have your smartphone. Something like swimming or riding your bike is great.
- UncleOxidant 4y agoIf they're as bad as you're saying (and I'm not sure I disagree) then the answer would be to go back to a flip phone that only does calls and maybe has a camera.
- hycaria 4y agoYeah it’s still pretty nice to have navigation
- Konterstein 4y agoThis also needs willpower which you need daily to fight it. Over the last couple years i have seen older people who had good focus completely taken hostage by smartphones making them victims. It's normal for people to watch TV and be on the Phone half the time. I've seen lifelong sport fans who watch sports and are more on the phone than with their eyes on the match. There is no right life in the wrong one. I would identify these things and just try new activities the can counter that and de-accelerate. Things like swimming, hiking, cycling are great. Paddleboarding. Watching sports live or only with friends.
