I've been waiting for this video! Loved hearing your insights, Lan! As your real-life friend, I do miss the ease of our daily voice memo conversations 😝 but I have LOVED our more frequent phone calls! And you're inspiring me immensely to get serious about not being reliant on my phone and a constant influx of noise.
Thank you for sharing this! I’ve been trying to figure out how to get rid of my iPhone for a while and this is great encouragement to see someone else actually doing it ❤️❤️❤️
Love this. I switched to a flip phone though needed to switch back to a smartphone in the Summer for work, I loved the flip phone. I found a lot more to do with my time, I used our laptop for almost everything, and I never found myself just mindlessly scrolling. I honestly think smartphones are kind of dangerous (I spend more money with a smartphone, I'm distracted from what I love, I become lazy etc) and I'm looking forward to switching back to my flip phone! Way to go girl!!
Wow!! 6 months, that's amazing. You go, girl!! 👏 I logged out of IG for about 2 months, but then I have filled up that time with FB groups and YT videos. 4 years ago I gave up my smartphone for 4 years!!! I had a flip phone and it was the best thing ever. I missed taking photos and missed seeing friends, but I spent SO much time in the gym!!!! I don't think I want to give my smartphone up just yet, again.. but I'm unplugging alot now
I think showing us how you use it would be great!! Regardless if that company is coming out with s new version. Show us how this one, works for you!! ❤
I use my phone calendar a lot. Can anyone speak to what they did to stay on top of schedules? I don’t love the idea of a physical pen and paper when things can change so much. I love the ability to edit events and put events in quickly (or appointments instead of taking any appointment card)
I am constantly listening to and watching podcasts. I feel like I have a constant”voice” speaking and I’m Uber distracted. I’m hoping to read more and be a better mom. Plus I am going through a very tough transition so unplugging is necessary for me right now
I use a CAT FLIP S22, game changer. $45 bucks on amazon, not slow, has Spotify, bible app, audiobooks.. whatsapp, full color and touch screen. It's a mini smart phone in flip form, and it doesn't inspire me to scroll or look through social media. also, I take and send pics and videos :) would definitely recommend. a
loved this video i have a flip phone (in jewish communities they are recommended without internet, better for mental health, etc). I have the same struggles my biggest issue is taking pics and have nothing to send to grandparents on whatsapp bc my dumb phone just has basic pics and i cant take videos properly...but the disconnect is priceless. thank you for this video i feel seen :D

Thanks for sharing this video, I've been considering switching phones too and I appreciate knowing how you are practically doing this in your life.
For a camera we got the campsnapcam and I love it! It’s such a simple camera I let the kids use it even!

try the cat flip s22. maybe you won't have to switch back to the smartphone!!
Mission drift! Love this term!
The upgrades they made are perfect!
I’m off of instagram and Facebook and I’d love to get rid of my smartphone. It’s a big distraction for me. Especially when we homeschool…
Troomi is a good option for a camera, maps and approved tools but no social media

As soon as I run this iphone 12 into the ground, I’m getting lightphone 3 and the mighty music player for Spotify on the go ❤
You can switch back and forth. I bought a Lightphone a few years ago, and you can take the SIM card out and switch between the two.

Trying to pull back on usage especially because of screen habits I'm seeing in my 5 yr old

Has anyone used the new Nokia block phone? I kind of want one but haven't heard much about it

Can you do a grocery order on it?
How you do Instagram and TH-cam? I do use the phone for my recordings, but I have the same issue as you. 😅
