What I do for maps, music, photos and podcasts using a dumbphone
Maps, music and photos were the things I was most nervous about losing when switching to a dumbphone. This is how I work around that - it's not perfect but it's not a bad compromise

Dog, bike, trailer - the start of a great adventure! This is how I trained my dog Scout to ride in a trailer behind my mountain bike. It means that we can hit the trails together more often and go longer distances! see you out there :)

    I read the same book and got a dumb phone recently. It definitely does help. We only have so much self control and when people just say delete apps and everything will be okay they dont seem to have any idea about the pull these things have. they are designed to keep your attention for as long as physically possible. I hope we get a dumbphone with a full keyboard in the future!

    For maps, I, personally, would get something like a used garmin etrex vista (these things are ridiculously cheap nowadays) and just load fresh OSM maps on a memory card + take some spare batteries (you know, just in case I get too carried away while browsing POIs 😂)

    I just bought a Garmin and put it in my car. It works great for navigating and I have always preferred it to using a phone for that. I've had a Garmin since they first became available.

    I tried. My dealbreakers were Signal (my primary form of communication), TOTP codes, and privacy (feature phones are nowhere near as privacy-respecting as GrapheneOS). What I did though was: I uninstalled every app that wasn't necessary for my daily on-the-go needs, made my display greyscale, installed a super minimal launcher, and turned off notifications for everything except messages and calls.

    I love this video! If you want a way to capture those special moments, you could get a cheap point and shoot analog camera :) you'll really cherish those pictures in a special way :) Also, it might seem silly but I've literally bought a walkman. Having a cassette tape in my Walkman makes me really get to know and cherish the music. It's a great experience :)

    This is great, but maybe don’t be so strict… use a smartphone for like 50% of the day, and the other 50% turn it off. Apps like Google maps are amazing, and incredibly helpful.

    I have iPhone I don't want to be on facebook all the time nor the other places I look sometimes because I don't want to think about what everyone else is doing I don't care how they live their lives it's up to them not up to me don't use navigation everywhere I go only if I know if I have to be there at a certain time otherwise I've lost track of time otherwise I manage fine even if I have a smartphone don't care about other people what they should or shouldn't you only have to manage one life, namely your own life, so it's not difficult either😊

    I agree with the iPad comment. It is really different from the phone. It's not always in your pocket. You have to put some effort in to scroll endlessly. I've just got myself a Nokia 2660 Flip and I love it. That combined with an old GoPro and a notebook and I've got most things I need. I still have the iPhone for when I need maps or my toddler wants to listen to music in the car. We've just started deciding in the morning what we want to listen to each day and then downloading it.

    General question to the comment section; What would be the biggest reason for you personally to buy or be interested in a dumb phone, if there would be nothing holding you back? And if there are things holding you back from buying one, what are these things? I ask this for my own research on some stuff in regards to dumb phones.. Thanks in advance for your answer ;)

    • @mateosanchez43
      @mateosanchez43 3 місяці тому

      Biggest reason would be procrastination. Biggest holdback would be directions (for work I find my self having to look up directions a lot)

    What an awesome video. Thanks for making it. I don't have a dumb phone because sadly I need Whatsapp for school and work, but I uninstalled literally everything I could from my smartphone and disabled all notifications except calls. I'm loving it so far. I only check WhatsApp a few times a day like an email. Feels like I'm in control again. For music I bought an mp3 player and only play music I've downloaded there. Im glad I watched videos like this one on UA-cam to motivate me to do that. Feels so much better

  • @antonpayne919

    ive been using a dumbphone for six months straight and get along quite well. my nokia 3310 has a built in mp3 player tho the sound is not really good. i buy mp3s online so the music i have is actually mine. i consider buying an mp3 player but havnt decided yet. my car has a navi system so no problems there. i bring my wallet along every time i leave. i do all my stuff after work on my ipad (wifi only) like whatsapp, email, selling/buying stuff and so on. switching to a dumbphone was the best decision in recent years. it gives me peace not having the worlds knowledge and news in my pockets. it slows down my daily routine which is a good thing. i can do all things what smartphone users do can - when i come home and not in between working, having a break and having conversations with colleagues
