Phones get overwhelming and take over our lives. I was noticing that my screen time wasn't going down at all no matter how hard I tried. How much time I spent just aimlessly scrolling mundane things that didn't really matter.

(mini thread)

Social media was definitely taking over too much. I mean, I love it, but it was too easy to just sit and scroll, and scroll, and scroll.

And then just going to different websites, checking e-mails IMMEDIATELY.

I was finding that the major barrier for getting out of bed in the morning was that I would just scroll endlessly and catch up on DMs and texts with friends on the phone. My day would start off slow and I'd always feel behind.

So. Tonight. Enough was enough. I deleted most of my apps, I put restrictions on built in apps to make it really tough for me to use things like the browser etc. My phone now is only for phonecalls/texts/audio. A couple rewards cards that I use. That's it.

The iBreviary is there only till Saturday as I appear to have lost a volume of my breviary in my move.

Hoping this works (the photo was taken just before I got rid of twitter on the phone). Time to reclaim my life from the phone.

Let me say that it definitely worked this morning. I was out of bed within 8 minutes because I couldn't just lay there looking at my phone.
