Digital detox

My iphone broke after ~4 years. I’m currently waiting for the new iPhone using a Nokia phone. The cheapest and dumbest I can find.

No email, it has a browser but it’s broken with 99% of the web out there. Only calls and SMSs.

Guess what… It was easier than expected. After the first 24 hours of hard FoMO being outside without a smartphone now sounds “wow”.

I’m more focused on what’s happening around me. When I come home I can read all the emails/whatsapp/telegram I missed while outside.

If somebody needs me urgently they know they can just call. Nobody is calling, actually, they just wait for an answer. I’ll still buy the new iPhone, but I’m thinking of getting rid of the smartphone for the weekend at least…
