I’ve tried to go without my phone more often and get out of the habit of having something constantly on in the background but I find myself just getting into this state where nothing is even vaguely pleasant, where I can’t find motivation to move, or where I pick up my phone without even realizing what I’m doing.
Is the answer meditation and exercise? It’s meditation and exercise isn’t it?
Before cell phones i had books and video games. Video games might seem like it could hurt your attention span, but if youre playing for hours then youre focused for hours.
Keep you cell phone physically away from you. That's what im doing with weed now. I needed a break, so Im just not going to go to the dispensary again. I found that having it really added to the compulsion.
Uninstall apps, or look into some way of limiting time on the phone. i think iPhone has something like that.
