Breaking My Phone Addiction

[e_ryan]

@freek has already given the solution.

• I saw it
• I went, "Hmm, that's a good idea. I hate how my phone permeates everywhere, and I have to fight against it. It's a tool, not a master."
• I researched to find something that could run Spotify & audible with Bluetooth. It also must be a cheap flip phone. It must have Google Maps.
• I found the Cat S22.

This thing also happens to be indestructible - a true brick phone. I remember friends throwing their phones across the schoolyard years ago to demonstrate.

Continue wallowing in self-pity and doubt. The only salvation is to take action & make a change.

This whole ordeal took me half an hour, not three months. Take action.

Done lol, I ordered myself a flip phone and it's what I am using now. You were right, it only takes a little bit to change things.
