Replying to Avatar pam

Over a year ago I removed social media apps and email access from my phone. The phone became a much more peaceful and fun tool used to communicate with friends, reading stuff and just exploring new information when I’m taking a break from work. Turning smartphone to somewhat stupid has been a smarter move. Unfortunately I realise email is a necessity, but I haven’t come to terms with it yet. But that aside, if you are able to self direct own learning, autonomous learning often yields better results than having information pushed at you. I could never go back to the days of social media apps on mobile again. Even if reinstalled, I wouldn't bother with them—those days are long gone.

Can confirm.

Moving social apps to my iPad was a huge time saver and stress reducer. The next phase was moving news apps, and then financial & banking that don’t need to be monitored daily.

…email and Slack remain on my mobile, but notifications are either turned off or only enabled during limited hours.

It’s like I have my life back.
