my phone is just used for calls and it's amazing
you guys! i have been taking photos and videos with my camera (osmo pocket 4), and i have been using an mp3 player for music. all social media i access from my laptop as well - and even that, i do not do every day as i simply forget about it. it's much easier to forget to go on a website vs to resist the urge to click on a icon on your home screen.
i was thinking of leaving my phone at home, not as an act of trying to get myself to be more focused, but just because i did not really have much of a use for it*. this feels so freeing and wonderful! i am not sure how it has happened, but i think the grip of endless scrolling is slowly easing up.
the reasons for moving my media to different devices has been partially to spend less time on my phone, but honestly, mostly annoyance. i am very annoyed that there is no way to get the photos back from icloud in a simple way, that i take a million of them and never look at them. with the music, i just could not find any streaming service that i would like, plus i am apprehensive towards new features (like when spotify released that annoying AI DJ - are they still doing that? it was so bad, imho).
- i hate that i cannot write this anymore without thinking of ai.
