Much alike a recovering alcoholic, it's easier just not to go into a bar.
I do exactly the same thing by not having a phone. I know I would be that guy always looking at it instead of engaging with the real world. So I just don't have one. It's better that way.
- doubled112 2y agoSometimes I consider dumping the phone in a drawer. While I haven't quit cold turkey, I've found life much much more peaceful since I uninstalled most of the apps on my phone. Email, chat, maps, and music. I think I left notes and a password manager. Now it isn't trying to get my attention all the time. Even disabling notifications would have helped. A couple of my friends and I host our own Matrix homeservers, so even that is pretty quiet.
