Music reminded me of something funny: many years ago (About 9 years ago or even more) I was walking somewhere outside and I saw someone had dropped their MP3 player on the ground. I picked it up, out of curiosity I tried to turn it on. Now, about 9 years or even more later I'm still using that mp3 player and it works just fine still :)

im glad to here this worked for you, i'd love to find the way. But for me i constantly fly to different countries/ cities and sadly the smart phone is invaluable for google maps / QR code / and some times wallet payments. so it be super difficult for someone like me to switch to a dumbphone having to costanly print out flight tickets ? and get really good at map reading lol

I operated for decades with a glove box full of road maps and no phone. Life can exist without computers.

I'm 70 years old and have all the state of art technology from cellphones to desktops that cost the price of a nice car because I make my living with them but if I had my choice I would never answer the phone or take a text message. I remember the days when no one wanted to get up and answer a phone. "I got the phone last time, you get up and answer it" Lol!

may God bless you for those tips. :)

Having no smartphone is a different kind of adventure especially to a college student like me (2016). My classmates had to find me around campus if they want to say something, I pack my books to pass my vacant time, had to borrow camera from my groupmate to take pictures of a thesis book. 😂 I have a dumb phone and I had no choice. Our family only only afford one smartphone that time

2:53 sorry, but what did you mean by deleting everything?

you've such a beautiful voice.

a smartphone is a dumb phone. a dumb phone is a smart phone.

Does this sketchbook lat flat when open? ❤

with listening to music in the car i usually make a playlist and download it onto a blank cd then pop it into the car when driving

Please share where u got the tabs from

I have a notebook, and a bullet journal. And 3x5 cards in a Coach passport holder. And two flip phones.

I have never had a smart phone. For the last 5 years, I have carried a TMobile flip phone and a Verizon flip phone. For me, reception is the priority, and the touch interface make me lose patience.

I am a targeted individual . . being attacked with microwave weapons from the cell towers. They find me via my phone. These phones are the devil. I listen to Alex Jones . . others are being attacked as well . .

Super informative and answered the pressing questions I have been asking the internet the last few days. Navigation is the biggest scare for me! I remember the time of writing/printing directions before you leave somewhere and getting lost - so much anxiety! But I also didn’t drive then and feel I just have a better sense of direction now. Thank you for this confidence booster. More people would benefit from smart phone breaks or making this switch I think.

tiny camera can clip on ur cloth

buy tiny camera its not expensive

Wow, this is so inspiring! I’ve already deleted most of my apps, turned all notifications off, and have my phone on DND but THIS! This is amazing! That’s my next step! Thank you for sharing ❤️

I really enjoyed seeing your system. Question about the mina perhonen cover. Is it specifically for the 5 year planner or is it for the regular A6 size? It’s absolutely gorgeous and I just got a 5 year for 2025. I’m thinking I need a cover and a fabric one would be fun because it won’t need to leave my desk.

So glad to see you’re back. I cannot wait to place my 2025 order. This year was a planner, creative bust for me so I am seriously looking forward to 2025. I too will wait to set up my Cousin until mid November because I’m going to post a video of it, but I won’t start writing in it until at least December for the monthlies and January 1 for the rest of it.

How can I not use Google Maps 😩

If you still have a iPhone and you don't use it, you could make it a dumb-phone by deleting almost everything. (The only problem is that you can reverse it via the app-store and therein lies the addiction that you do that some day and then it starts all over again.) But you can make it a Call/texting/camera/gallery/files phone.

Just try to scan the qr-code with the dumb-phone and then complain about it at the counter! The look you get is priceless! (There are lots of people without a smartphone.)

Excluding people who dont have a smartphone from service and food is ridiculous

I just bought a dumb flip phone to eliminate my smart phone addiction. I've become aware of how very unhealthy it is.

I would love to do this. I actually tried for like a week but then I couldn’t do Lyft or uber and a lot of jobs have apps now that you have to use to see your pay or schedule 🤦🏽‍♀️

Music over Bluetooth in my car is the actual last thing I want. The sound is so much worse over BT.

It was just called a phone in my time.

Thank you for the inspiration and motivation! I also use 2 Bible apps 😃

so you want to go back in the 19999 hunds yh we can if this world want to i have epemrs be for and every one was not happy so looks like we never get phnes out of this world un less we go back to the 1800 like when we had 🐴🐎 yh i miss that seeing the now we get to menney cars and poo bussins soon we get robots then will all die or maybe live they all say we will get world war 3 so are world might die so yh

With a smartphone every place you go you’re tracked and your phones content is copied. Dumb phones provide privacy.

I had no phone at all growing up. Our phone was attached to the wall and we all shared it lol ❤❤❤ I was 27 what I got my first cell and it was this stick phones they called them. lol year 2000. 😊

I am thinking of doing the same. I would miss podcasts and music.

I know this is older but now you can call Lyft and Uber for rides.

Your system is similar to mine with minor differences, so it’s very relatable and helps me reinforce or complement my own. I really enjoyed your video. I also love your soft, cozy aesthetic that shines through your system

Just ordered my sunbeam! I’m so damn excited to be disconnected more

Thanks for sharing your updated system. I could not help myself with that floral liberty fabrics HON either - too beautiful. Excited to see how you end up using it. I am still debating what to do with it next year.

Do the hobinichi planners have alot of foreign language in them. Travelers notebook inserts do. I cant read it. That's why I dont order foriegn planners. Do they make hobinichi in English only, they dont in travelers notebook brand.

I’m excited for you to be using the cousin again!💖💖💖

I will, and have, walked out of restaurants that require a QR code. after they get a lecture on the insecurity of them as a whole. This was when I carried 2 smart phones.

My 2024 HON makes a crinkle noise, too... but it had not affected durability or function. Thanks for sharing! 🙂☮️❤️

cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are there any games on your phone?

Why do you talk without a pause? Or perhaps I should ask why is the video edited to remove all pauses?

Do you still use your Sunbeam flip phone?

It's 2024, and I still have a "pay as you go" plan with only voice and text. $12 per month for my phone service! However, I feel that the world isn't going to allow me to go on smartphone-free forever. For example, I went with my friends to some hipster restaurant a couple of weeks ago - no menus, only an idiotic Q-code in the middle of the wretched table - and snooty hipster waiters who rolled their eyes if you asked for a menu. And paying for parking with an old fashioned credit card is getting more iffy too. There is nothing more I would like to see than a massive push back and a dumb phone revolution. BUT, there are too many sheep out there who aren't even aware of how addicted they are to these wretched digital toys.

How do you get a job without internet? How do you get money without internet??

Understand that the phone is an addiction. You can live without it. I was 35 before I got my first cell phone, a Motorola Razr. That was replaced a few years later by my Palm (which I loved). I didn't get my first Smartphone until 2015. Yeah, they're convenient as hell, but it's an added expense we don't need. Plus, they're making us stupid. Can you remember ANY phone numbers other than your own? I used to have about 4 dozen numbers memorized and ready to go. Right now, I want my old flip phone back with talk and text. That's it. Google be damned as well as the rest of social media.

Yayyy a new video! Your work is really inspiring, especially for me since I own a sticker shop myself. I love all your vlogs! ❤
