Take a phone and glue it to a large sheet of plywood. You won’t mindlessly scroll when you have an awkward experience trying to use the phone.
- If you’re trying to solve the problem of phone being too addictive, make it less addictive. Delete twitter, setup your life around you so that it’s not focused around responding promptly to people. Intentionally don’t connect to WiFi and limit the speed to 2G.
I can’t speak for Europe, but here in the USA it’s still very practical to create a life without a phone.

Recently I noticed that my phone (Samsung) has "bedtime mode" which makes everything displayed on the screen grayscale - I have used it couple of times and observed that it makes various content much less interesting and attractive for me Also disabling media sounds could be good idea.

- piva00 2y ago> Impossible in Europe - can't buy a train/bus ticket I don't know a single place in Europe I've been to where I could not purchase some sort of a public transportation ticket without a phone. Not a single one.
