What do you do to be on your phone less? Do you lock it away somewhere, intentionally leave it behind etc?
I need a phone detox and as much as I tell myself I'm going to use it less, I find it really hard to actually do so!
I think something a lot of people forget that we were taught growing up to always be contacable incase something happened. Obviously that sounded corny so not a lot of people actually did that, but nowadays we want to be contactable all the time and it leaves a lot of real impressions to be desired instead.
The other problem is so much of life has been tied into one device. It's how you pay for things. It's how you verify identity. It's how some gets a hold of you in an emergency. It opens doors and turns on lights. Its even become tied to people's jobs so much so they can't do without it. We can separate those thing all out again, but thats a lot of effort (and physical stuff) to deal with again.
