I can put away social media. But I can’t put away my phone due to how everything is digital now - bank, health, travel.

- standardUser 3y agoHalf of what I use my phone for is in service of other aspects of life. Finances, travel plans, communicating with friends, work, research, etc. It's the other half - the scrolling mostly - that provides little value. But I'm not about to throw the baby out with the bathwater.
- jjulius 3y agoGenuinely curious - aside from, say, 2FA, what do you need your phone for for those services that you can't do via the web on a laptop or desktop? I'm not trying to be confrontational, I'm just thinking through how I use bank/health/travel services and am struggling to think of something that can only be done via a mobile app. I've forced myself to go laptop/desktop-only with most services and have found that I can keep my phone away from my person for most of the day, save for moments where a service requires 2FA.
