Using a flip phone for 30 days to enhance flow

My goal in this 30-day experiment is to eliminate all distractions and cleanse my digital environment to see if that allows me to enter the flow state more effectively.

A little rant: I’ve technically begged my parents for a flip phone but all they do is laugh at me and (since pretty much everyone i know uses WhasApp) say that im dumb for choosing the “hard & expensive way for communication” Communication my ass lol everyone’s glued to their screens 24/7 and let me tell you that I’ve already got rid of social media apps (which made me extra lonely) but nothing helps since my parents control every aspect of my life so im stuck in the house, im 16 and already feel really unproductive and useless… sorry ik that was uncalled for but GOSH is jt frustrating, anws thankyou so much for your video and I’ll make sure to support your channel ! ^-^

thanks for your support! I think by getting rid of social media you are already on the path to live a more fulfilled life, you should be proud of that : )

i really recommend reading and journaling. Especially fantasy because you can 'submerge' into other worlds. Especially twilight... its so good.

[@MI-re1p]

@@servility ooh i love journaling &reading but im getting kind of bored from russian classics so I’ll try fiction and fantasy out, thankyouu

I have watched several videos over the past week or so about switching to a flip phone, and I’m officially swapping out my iPhone for a flip phone. I’ve only ever had iPhones, never had a flip phone. Switching my iPhone for flip phone seems quite scary, but I feel that this is something I really need to do. I’m on my phone all day every day and that’s not okay. Hoping this will make me happier.

Been living effectively like this for few years now. I started making privacy Android phones for myself and family members using first LineageOS-microG and now GrapheneOS. On my own phone I kept its Tjng service on the $10 a month plan which is just voice and unlimited SMS texting - no data plan. It still has WiFi, of course, so can do WiFi calling, but when out and about I don’t go reaching for my phone. When having lunch or dinner, my attention is with the other participants - not constantly looking at the phone. (Have one home that can’t get Cell service, only fiber-optic Internet, so WiFi calling is a crucial capability in order to have phone service there. Hence a flip phone wouldn’t work out.)

I hope so too :)

[@LukeDashwood]

I'm sorry about the lost friendships, i know a thing or two about that myself. Keep doing what's best for you though, respect that you're only 15 and you're already making wise decisions :)

Love this man! I'm considering switching to a flip phone or at least a dumb phone to help my productivity and overall well-being.

Subscribed! Great points. I like the thought of purposefully being bored. Now we never get that chance thanks to our smartphones. Just bought my dumb phone so excited to try that out
