📵 how to make your smartphone into a dumb phone

i wrote a full guide on how to optimize your smartphone setup to reduce screen time and distractions. instead of keeping it as a blog post that gets buried, i turned it into its own dedicated page since i keep updating it.

you can find the full, up-to-date guide on my dumbphone guide page.

the tldr: you don’t need to buy a separate dumb phone. you can configure your existing smartphone to be way less distracting with some intentional settings changes, app removals, and a few tools. the guide walks through everything step by step.

i’ve been using this setup for a while now and my screen time has dropped significantly. it’s one of those changes that sounds small but actually impacts your whole day.

go check it out if you’re tired of mindlessly scrolling.
