Meet the dumb phone: No social media apps, a super simplistic interface, and only the most essential applications. But why?
Well, after trying out various forms of dopamine detox / digital detox, they all didn't really work. So I set myself on a mission to find the perfect way to use our phone (as well as to control our phone addiction).
And after using this dumb phone for 100 Days, I was not only surprised with my experience, but especially with my choice of phone moving forward. Is this the perfect solution?

🚨 HOW TO USE THIS ON YOUR IPHONE: 🚨
👉🏼 Simply download an app called Blankspaces for the interface and (optionally) an app called Freedom to block social media apps. Thanks to ‪@reysu‬ for sharing this tip.
👉🏼 Let me know in case you find a better way to do this :)

I would like to thank my phone for the tough film shooting haha Multiple drops on the floor, being thrown into the trash, and the cracked screen due to my clumsiness is a lot to handle... Another great restriction is to get an alarm clock to leave your phone outside your room when sleeping. A video by Niklas Christl showed how well it works (screen time from around 4 Hours to 1.5), and again illustrates the importance of finding the perfect restriction. -> Works for any other bad habit like only eating homemade sweets to perfectly balance eating some desert here and there without overdoing it. Curious to hear your recommendations :) Oh yeah, and here is the link to the morning Routine Video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aZana8upmtnJm4U.html

Great video! I also went through the phase of thinking about downgrading to a more permanent dumb phone but found that having a sweet spot of just limiting functionality on a modern smart phone to be the best option. I loved all the creative shots in the video as well :)

My best tips: removing all the notifications from social media from my phone and hiding the apps from my Home Screen🤙🏼 for the rest I love the video 😊 a cool thumbnail and so many nice cuts!

Awesome video! I use minimalist phone app also, and together with being more mindful about using my phone I managed to lower the screen time to around an hour as well :). Hope to see more cool videos from you in the future, I can tell you put in a lot of work, effort, and passion into them :)!

1.have the phone only be used in a certain room or have rooms where the phone is never allowed. 2. have the phone set to a alarm every 2 hours and when the timmer goes the phone will be locked for 1 hour and 30 minutes

This may sound weird but moving all my social media and entertainment apps to my ipad so like using instagram or snapchat is super annoying so i just use it to talk when really necessary and the other times i just open some online course instead of streaming services cus thats what i used my ipad originally for

That does not sound weird at all, but seem like a great restriction. Let me know how it goes in the coming weeks!

My sweet spot is that I only use social media on my laptop which is not a very good experience in comparison to social media use on mobile phone, and I've reduced my social media use a lot. I only use 2-3 times only to check messages and that's all(less tha

Wich brand of phone is this?

@JakobManthei Жыл бұрын

It's a One Plus Nord N200. Super simple one, but again to serve the purpose of dumbing down my phone.

@LittleSammy91 Жыл бұрын

Can you do this with any phone?

@JakobManthei Жыл бұрын

@@LittleSammy91 Yes! For an iPhone I explained how to do it in the video description. For android all you have to do is download an app called minimalist phone (25 per year but a bit more sleek) or Ovolauncher (Free, just put a black background and it's pretty similar).
