Just realized I haven’t posted in a few days. At the start of the week I decided I was using my iPhone way too much, so I asked my roommate to set a lock on it. Now I can only use it via Siri, so I can really only make calls. But that also means that I don’t use it as much, and so forget to post.

@warner Ooh, I like that detox challenge. I might just try that out for myself.

On your website I saw that you've used the Light Phone & the Punkt MP02. Both of those have been on my radar for a bit as the "ideal" dumb phone, but I'm a little hesitant to splurge quite so much yet. Have you by chance found anything a bit cheaper in your dumbphone journeys? If so I would love to hear about it.

@tommysgrowingup I started out FirstWeek FlipPhone back in 2018 when the only option was the old LG clamshell.
I must say I think Light in particular is worth the 3-figs but Nokia & Doro still let you make calls for 2 though I'm not sure if they're 4G.
You may notice from some of my vlogs my best months are when I take full vacay (eg Feb meditation retreat) for the week so I can go no phone - might be a nice way to start.
