Easy solution: Delete apps you don’t need or feel bad about (Twitter, social media, apps spamming notifications,…)
The described solution is just someone procrastinating by spending even more time on their phone trying to customize things and fiddle with apps.
Same category as building a todo app to become more productive or building a blogging engine to write more instead of just writing.
- adamwong246 2y agoThis is the only sane approach. I have reduced my smartphone to a dumb-phone just by removing the apps that suck my attention. But the worst is youtube. You can live without social media but YT has become such a cornerstone that you cannot even uninstall it.
- toast0 2y agoI'm not sure I fully agree about youtube. Yes --- if you're fixing stuff, you end up having to watch youtube. But that's so bad, it's easy (for me) to continue to avoid it. Although, occasionally I do get pulled in to interesting looking videos. But when they start asking me to like and subscribe (which is often!), that's a good trigger to close the thing.
- claar 2y agoOn Android phones, you can uninstall system apps using adb: # adb shell $ pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.chrome $ pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.youtube To reinstall: $ pm install-existing com.android.chrome $ pm install-existing com.google.android.youtube
