I use multiple things to make my phone (which I need to for working and banking) way less distracting:
- I don't have a phone number in my phone. Just internet, so no distracting calls only messages
- I heavily use Nothing Phones options to categorize notifications. Which is brilliant and should be part of android stock.
- Possibly relevant notifications are shown on my Garmin watch. So in 95% or all cases my phone rings I know I don't have to look at it now
Not having any social media definitely helps as well
- ricardobeat 2y agoWhat most people consider distractions are social media apps. Even with notifications disabled you’ll pick up the phone “just to see what’s new”. If you already have the willpower to completely avoid social media, you are not the target audience :)
- herbst 2y agoIt's more about the self conditioning IMO. For me it was the flashing LED that made me question if something interesting might have happened somewhere. By removing triggers I could adapt back to a more healthy relationship with my smartphone. You can use social media and still don't get that hype / rush or FOMO.
