Addicted to my phone

Jive Turkey · January 22, 2019, 12:56:22 PM

Find myself always on my phone now smh. Addicted to the little dopamine hits when I refresh reddit/Instagram/etc.

Any tips to reduce phone time?

You could try limiting the amount of apps you use. It's a lot easier to lose track of time when you're flipping between 5-10 apps. I feel like I hardly waste time on my phone anymore now that I barely browse social media, don't play mobile games, etc.

Yeah you would use reddit

Wanna have considerable financial freedom in a few short years. I have a pretty good plan set up, just requires that I buckle down right now and work super hard, save aggressively and budget properly. Living as minimalistic as possible while improving my knowledge in certain fields. It’s actually pretty simple to end up with lots of money if you’re willing to suffer in the initial phases

True lesson of strength - to turn away from strength that is not your own. Everything that considered as not best use of time on hands is considered negative. Moreover, growing attachement to something that can be easily taken from you or easily exploited against you such as a mobile device, might be not the best idea.

I'm addicted to the internet but not my smartphone. I only really use social media for art. Can't say I would know what to do to break that kind of an addiction since I was never really into phones. Maybe get an old flip-phone. I know some people have done it to get away from the smartphone addiction and it has worked for them.
