I got a nice set of wired headphones and a portable music player (Snowsky Echo Mini). It’s been great. I don’t feel the need to have the phone beside my bed as much and I can go out with my phone on me, but switched off.
I’m thinking about what other use I could separate from the phone, but I think for me that music was the main one. Podcasts would be harder because of how frequently they update.
I’ve also found having a Rubik’s cube on me as well as a yo-yo has kept me off my phone even longer.
What do you think would be a substantial use case you could separate from your phone?
Separating my routine tracker from my phone into a notebook has been a great help. I would use the phone less in the mornings and wouldn’t get sucked in so early in the day.
Pen and paper are seriously underrated. Thanks for the healthy reminder!
