7 Benefits of Life without a Smartphone Explained by a Licensed Therapist

- I have gone the last 16 months without a smartphone. It has been amazing. There are definitely downsides (no GPS, it takes longer to text, etc.). However, I have found that my life is much better. Here are the 7 benefits that I have found to having a flip phone instead of a smartphone.

I quit all social media. Now I need to get back to a flip phone.
did you throw away your iphone?
@@veetee4826 went to the flip phone, but only lasted one month! I tried!
@@andrewkolb1048 keep trying! i think thats where the power lies.. like you trying to defeat your addiction/consumption
Pls ship me ur phone which you quit
@@andrewkolb1048 ... Break your iPhone if you're serious about it. I'm getting a 6300 4G soon and after I get that set-up I'm breaking my G7 for good.
Planning on getting a flip phone and locking my iPhone 11 away as a 17 year old 🤞🏼
Smart idea
I’m also a teenager and I’m thinking of doing this too!
Did it yet?
Meee tooo
Don't "lock it away". Get rid of it (sell, give etc.). Otherwise you'll likely find a reason to unlock it away. We humans have no self control! Also, I went smartphoneless about 15 month ago and I cannot recommend more.
Been long time "phone addict". Today It Finally stopped. Bought Nokia phone, sold my samsung and actually noticed that many people are just focused on their "smart" phones all the time, every where. That is actually scary.
Nice, which Nokia did you buy?
@@Blackwhite2277 i know you asked Julians, but I bought nokia 3310 (2017 version). It has pros and cons but works fine. It is a bit expencive for a "dumb phone" but yeah
Agreed, Juians that's it's scary. It's bothered me for the last 3 years. Even scarier is that few people seem to care about how others behave with their phones.
I've never had a smart phone. 🤣 I just like having a phone that's a phone. I've always felt that way and don't feel any temptation to get a smart phone. For reference, I'm 28 yo.
What kind of phone do you have?
@@Guivalv It's a Kyocera flip phone. Not entirely sure the model, but it's super durable and waterproof, so I'm happy.
My phone batteries keep on running out every two days. I keep it on constant change in one room.
@@mackhiggins4731 kyrocera duraxv. I want to get that one lol does it support nano sim card?? I have the go flip 3
@@Cam-pt9ex I have just Googled nano Sim card. 😂 I believe my phone is micro Sim card size. Honestly, I cut down my standard size Sim card to use in this phone, and that's worked fine for the last several years. In any case you can either try to align the nano in the slot til it sits in a spot that works, or you could get a nano to micro Sim adapter. It's like a little plastic housing in the shape of micro that holds nano. That's my recommendation if you really want this phone and wanna use nano Sim. But to answer your question, it looks like the slots are micro, not nano.
Never had a smart phone and don't want one. when I see everybody staring at their phone all the time its freaky .
right?????
They ARE freaks.
@@ArianaFan95 there not freaks there just productive
@@hijacked6663 im in high school, snapchat aint productive

I'm scared but I want to live without my smartphone
How’s it going
me too
How is the flip phone doing
I am planning the same
Y’all asking how he’s doing without the smartphone, expecting a response
*how he gonna respond without the smartphone lol*
I'm 28 years old, I can still remember the days before smart phones, and I like the person I was back then more than the person I am now, before UA-cam addiction.
The price of flip phones hasn't changed in years whereas smartphones are beginning to eclipse the 3K mark.
Its makes me wonder like WHEN are we going to stop. Like are we done being ultra consumers yet? Like I'm sooo bored with most content I see now a days anyways..
Like for example I'm so bored on UA-cam now because due to the algorithm suggesting things based on what I already watch I feel like I NEVER see anything new. I'm suggested the same content from the same creators ALL THE TIME. It gets boring af
@@VanityLuxe Same here. It's all deliberate.
They have gone up. When I was young the mad a flip phone cost was 100. Now it's 80-300. Still kinda of insane. But they last longer than a smartphone. 3G phones end this year but 20 years they could last since you can buy a new battery
@@VanityLuxe erase your search and watch history it resets it a bit
Love this. I’m 17 and have been thinking of going to a flip phone for a while. I just need to tell my mom; I don’t think she’ll believe me 😂 But I’m definitely going to. Will save me money on overpriced data payments and will be better for my mental health.
So how are u doing so far without the phone. I'm 21 and i desided that I should stop doing social media and u tube for a bit. So I desided that I would live in the early 2000s even going as far as to replace my modern tv with crt tv for a week had a bet with my Sis that I could survive.....i didn't last 3 days I have popcorn brain in which we are so accustomed to iPhones and social media it literally changed your brain where u need something to stare at constantly. It was a shock to me because I was fine before I got my first iPhone at 13 years old now I can't go 3 days without 1. Crazy
Good for you! Get rid of that thing! It's Satanic! They are "Black Mirrors" and what are they used for? Scrying which is sorcery.
LOL im 17 too and i asked my parents to buy me one too. im going to sell my iphone and start working on myself. Also the best part is that its cheap

@@kblc7952 still in the process of getting one 😅
Awesome video! I just "downgraded from a Samsung Galaxy S20 to a Kyocera flip phone yesterday. I got the DuraXV Extreme, just so I can throw it across the room and not worry about breaking anything (well, at least anything on the phone). I've checked it a few times in the last 24 hours and laughed at how I am slowly getting rid of that old "digital dopamine" fix. Thanks for this video. I think the future is flip phones.
Love it!
I have gone back to a flip phone and an MP3 player. I feel free like back in the 90's and early 2000's. Its so awesome!
I love it! It’s great to feel free!
I never thought I'll say this in my life, but I agree with the shrink on this one.. I use a dumb phone :)
how's it?
I'm a therapist like you and I've never had a smart phone -- on purpose. I don't text either. Loved the video! My boyfriend send it to me knowing I would love it.
Thanks Carolyn!
Love it. Thank you Colin. Love the name of the channel by the way 😉
I recently turned 18 and ive grown up with technology and smart phones. Its become a norm and a way of life, but im not sure that I like that way of life!
I need to get out of it. Its encouraging to see others have decided to do the same and to see their enthusiasm about it.
I recently ordered a flip phone and im so excited to make the switch. I want to experience life and be the best man that I can be.
God bless you and your family.
I just deleted my Facebook account. Next, I am getting a flip phone.
You're absolutely spot on. I recently moved to a very rural area and my house had no internet service and no usable cell signal for the first six months. I got more done and was more relaxed in that six months than I've ever been. I recently got starlink internet service and now I'm constantly reaching for my phone and get nothing done. Put down your phone and get your life back.....
What are the plans to get back on track?
@@ColinCasperLMHCas someone who listen to music a lot, I don't mind using keypad phones as long as I can connect my earbuds.
I just recently bought a Nokia 110 4g 2023 as a replacement for my old Nokia 130(2017) , a great 2g phone with Bluetooth a2dp 3.0, great Bluetooth connection, not so great battery life (1020 mah) due to the Bluetooth 3.0 , an outdated protocol which uses battery a lot when earbuds are connected to it.
With the Nokia 110 4g 2023, there are newer shenanigans like Bluetooth 5.0 so I don't have to carry my hefty smartphone outdoor for music streaming purpose, a bigger 1450 mah battery, a LTE network and a browser, it's a bit usable but for the price, I'm getting what I'm looking for. So far so good, I'm liking it especially this weird shaped t9 keypad which reminds me of these mid 2000s feature phones
I am 37 so I have watched all this unfold and evolve. I have never been worried about having a certain phone. I have always used budget service providers where possible then that turned into me just using WiFi instead of activating a data plan. This summer I broke a nice smart phone I bought from a friend and that was in July. I never replaced the phone. I don't even use a phone at all now. I just use a tablet or laptop when home. I don't habe a big social life anymore so its easier. I see the problem on a big picture scale. Seeing the results of this phenomenon makes me think that it's something being done intentionally by people who want control. Its hard for me to believe that us being divided via overconnectivity while exposing our thoughts and locations constantly is purely a result of a natural phenomenon.
I'm 17 and just bought a "dumb phone". I'm exited to become a human again and not to stare into it like all the other people do in every situation 🙃
I like how you two laughed on mentioning the 'arm pit symptoms'! In global, smartphones are an addiction. Flip phone is better solution; no distractions, and in lot cases, more money is spent on them. Thank you for the video. Best wishes from Croatia.
i ja san se smijala na kuvana jaja
Very good points, especially the “growing” part. Just gained a new subscriber. 👏🏼
I have no social media and even UA-cam app is deleted from my 6 years old smartphone. I use my phone for google to lookup a recipe before cooking or to something and that’s all.
Out of all the people in yt. You're the one who deserves a like and a subscribe! Thank you for this video . Keep it up!
I am badly addicted to smartphone,spending haurs on fb and other apps . today I found your video , it gives me help to get back my life . Thanks
That’s great to hear!
I love this video. I have been seriously considering doing this or getting rid of a phone all together. I feel like smart phones do more harm to society than good.
Soo much interesting and exciting content ..!! I Hope everyone sees this video and get to change their life better ..!! Thanks alot brother
Iam from India , You got my respect
Thanks!
I subscribed. I love your video. I agree with everything you said I have been using a flip phone for over a year and I love it. I bought a garmin gps and I’m happy and more productive. Went from an iPhone 7. I still have it cuz it takes great pictures and videos for you tube. Stay well 💜👍
So good! May need to dig up my old flip phones.
Do it!
This is strange.
I've never owned a smartphone, I just use a home computer, I'm in my early 40's and sometimes feel out of touch for not having a smartphone.
Aww im sorry for that..
you rock
You the man that’s the best way too be u not out of touch u just smart human ppl with these smartphones are the ones out of touch with reality believe that’s its very true smartphones an social media’s platform it’s a deadly combination I don’t like either one that’s why I’m going back too my flip phone
Undoubtedly, you are in touch in much deeper and more discerning ways than people who can't see beyond the screen in their face.

So true about the workout part :P. I am getting one for myself as my birthday gift.
You nailed it with that remark about people using their phones to hide from people. I notice that day in and day out. I mean, im a very shy person by nature, so no doubt i would be doing the same if i had one. You just notice in general though, how people have basically become cyborgs at this point.. the device is an extension of themselves. How many people would remember just one phone number without it?
My problem is not a pocket computer, it's a desktop computer. Been a slave to it for about 15 years now.
My flip phone is on the way in the post and I'm so excited to discover who I am again. I am also so glad that my armpits smelling of boiled eggs is normal and not a rare disease:D
That is really exciting! I think one of the biggest downfalls to letting a phone be our go-to boredom extinguisher is that we miss out on a lot of self exploration.
@@ColinCasperLMHC absolutely! :)
The sharing of stories reminds me of a time I was waiting for a rental car. It was during the height of the pandemic, and as a precaution we were outside, social distancing and wearing masks and everything. There were four or five of us, and we had to wait for about two hours. Honestly, we wished it would have taken longer. The conversations we had were fascinating. Turns out one guy was managing the finances for this sweet little old lady who had recently passed away--and another guy was helping her out around the house, doing the mowing and caring for her hedges and the like. Both were vets, one a Marine during the Afghanistan war and the other from the first Iraq war if I recall right. We discussed lawn care, dogs, this lady's life (which was fascinating in its own right), various types of financial assets (it was more interesting than it sounds), cars, war stories--that sort of good, rambling discussion that you'd have sitting around the fire with good friends.
Sounds like a good time... minus all that corona crap LOL
Yes sounds All terrific but im from New York City/ any chance there that: these Two Military guys pruning roses & paying the expenses On Behalf of this sweet elderly Socialite Lady: were a Romantic "team" of tinder swindlers...
Wonder How Well these fellas are Living now...
The whole thing sound Like a nervous confession:
Were those guys waiting for One Car or two...
& who inherited The House...
I can just imagine a branch of humanity going back and taking the other path that technology began to fruition FROM when flip phones were popular
I’ve changed to a flip phone for 2 months, and it’s amazing! Using a flip phone looks so cool and it helps me avoid all distractions, talk more with ppl around, communicate and make more lovely memories. what a wonderful way to make my life more meaningful 😊
Very cool stuff, and always nice to find people from the Bay Area here (I’m a St. Pete guy, but lived in Tampa and Clearwater). I’ve been working on unplugging for a while and haven’t made the jump back to an old T9 flip phone but I’ve taken all 3rd party apps, email, and notifications off my phone to make it as “non-smart” as possible. It really does help, and when I come home from work, the phone goes on my desk, the smart watch comes off, and my AirPods go in my pocket. It’s been really great for my mental health and for my family time.
Went back to one about two years ago. Best move ever, even considering dropping a mobile phone altogether.
I searched this video for like 30-60 minutes to watch it again. It has a relaxing vibe to it that I really enjoyed.
Thanks! That’s encouraging to hear.
Good on ya boss. Im going into 2020 with a flip phone and will be documenting the process to share with people just like you have. If possible, at some point next year, I'd love to interview you as I make my way through the flip phone world. I want to gain perspective from all sorts of articulate people. As a dad as well, I feel like we are heading into a future of harmful distraction.
We can talk more about it later if you are able. But thoroughly enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing!
Where is the link to your video?
OMG. Those 7 points are sooooooo deeep.... I'm getting a basic phone and trying this, if it works - I'm switching..
I use a smartphone, I do sometimes get distracted but I think it’s a reasonable trade for a incredibly powerful tool. And I don’t just walk around on it, I don’t use social media, I keep it out of my hands unless I need to use it.
Great. You convinced me. Will try it for one month. Comeback in March to you.
I started with smartphones years back because the flip phones of the day weren't loud enough be heard in a big truck. (Moving oil rigs, not highway hauling). The smartphones were always a challenge as they made it harder and harder to use a a communications device. It got to the point that it took longer to place the call than the call itself took. I am delighted to see flip phones returning, and look forward to the day when I get rid if the horrid "smartphones" forever.
Brilliant video 😅 I’ve deactivated my Facebook and I’m probably two weeks away from doing the switch to a flip phone. I’m actually looking forward to it :)
I have my feature phone in the mail as we speak. Can’t wait to try this
It WOULD change the world! Thank you for the review! Love your sense of humor. :)
Thanks! Thats greatly appreciated.
Spot on! Thank you for sharing
the boiled egg thing got me howling with laughter - was actually a really good vid
i’ve been wanting to make the switch for a while now, ive been so in my head about things & i also have adhd so having constant access to any information i want at my fingertips kind of exacerbated my constant thinking & it ended up just being an extension of my overloaded brain. this video gives me hope that its possible and that it doesnt have to be like that. thank you
Hope your journey goes well!
Thank you!!! 🎄
Just ordered a flip phone and am super exited for it! Already deleted my social media apps on my smartphone and this is gonna be a step further. Plan on using the flip phone for at least two weeks and hopefully even more😃 ( I am 30 btw and used to have one of these anyway so going back to the roots here ;) )
That’s super exciting to hear!
You're not alone! Feels Good to breath again.
There are some cities around Europe and Asia that put ground Level traffic Lights (with LED) because pedestrians are constantly looking at their phones! That's how crazy it has become.
I believe it. It’s hard to not multitask and just be present in these times.
I looked up videos about this because I'm always telling my friends to make the switch. You've explained it really well ! Going on 2 1/2 years now :) Like is good and simple. Can't believe how I can actually remember directions when I go somewhere now... I'm not brainlessly following siri anymore
OH and not to mention the flip phones these days connect to bluetooth .. Who knew??!! Awesome ! haha
Love love love your video mate. The content and delivery. Great stuff and thank you! Subscribe!!
I'm with you, i just switched to a LG VN220 a few days ago. I have been looking for this phone for a while and finally found it at a good proce om Facebook. Ebay is really over priced!! I'm gen x so i remember a time before cell phones and then the analog phones before texting so a flip is no problem for me! I'm not planning on ever going back!!
Watching, analyzing, re-watching and analyzing a movie called "My Dinner with Andre" changed my life. You could easily watch it, and only take away "Boomers hate technology" and keep living the way you did. For me, it came into my life at the correct time, and I'm happy to say that it has made me think about every action I take during the day. It doesn't make me get rid of all my comforts, rather, it makes me choose which comforts I could live without.
I'm not on social media and I do not let algorithms decide what kind of content I want to watch. I am here watching this video, because I've decided to change to a flip phone after my old one dies out (7 year old phone by now, still works but is showing signs of aging). I only watch videos that I myself thought to watch, and those videos will end up meaning more to me.
Not to say that I do not indulge in watching videos about things I don't care about (drama, essays about subjects I don't know about), but being aware of myself, and knowing what I want, makes the difference. That movie made me find out why it's important to think about what you'd like to be doing in 5 years. It's not about career growth, money, or accomplishments. It's about developing, and reflecting upon yourself. Life is what you make it. The constant comfort of smartphones, social media, and most of all, COMFORT, makes us forget to be ourselves. Great video. I wish everyone a great journey of learning to be human again.
Nice, I've got a 3310 and never had a smartphone because of the price, but also because I knew how unfulfilling it would turn out to be.
I'm on the second week of having a flip phone and your video is great. completely on point. My daughter interacts more when I'm not sticking an iPhone in her face, taking photos every second of every day. It's been a great improvement. My friends are having a harder time adjusting than I am. But I'm happy to keep staying on this flip phone if that means I'll be a more present mom.
That’s really cool to hear! That makes sense about your friends.
Switched to a flip phone mid 2019. Haven't gone back since. I mean I use an iphone at the house over wifi for some apps like Signal and maybe Alexa stuff. But I've been done with social media forever and how things are going, I don't miss one bit of it. It's a drug but one of the worst kinds...the kind that makes you unhappy. People that keep texting me whether work or family, I pick up the phone and speak to them if it's going to be a conversation. SMS is for SHORT Messages, not lenghty convos in the first place.
I've had a flip phone now for 1 year. I agree with all the benefits you mentioned. I also found I shop less now. One because I don't scroll and shop. Second, I don't have a ton of apps for rewards programs and incentives to order on their app for specials. I find now I buy something when I realize I need something. I'm a LCSW and work in mental health as well. Loved your video.
Great video! I have the Sonim Xp3 plus. I've hidden my Samsung S21. The flip has no maps, and I use KT9 predictive texting, but that's all it does and that's ok! 🙂
Loved it!!!! Thank you!
It´s really a good deal to implement in our habits, mainly for we have more time to live the real life. Greetings from Brazil
Such a good video, thank you 😊
I'm going to start the challenge today, waiting for it to be delivered, great vid , yea agree with all that
Keep us in the loop. I would love to hear your experience!
@@ColinCasperLMHC hi Colin,so far it's been very positive 🙂 Because I'm not expecting anything from my basic phone ,I feel less need to even carry one.
I now just use text and calls, when I first dropped off things like WhatsApp,it took folk a while to realise you were not on there anymore,but anyone who genuinely wants to keep in touch will do , it's a good way of also filtering so called fake friends .
Having said all that , I wasn't on any social media, I had UA-cam on there which I didn't see as social media really , I was using that as a learning tool. , I miss that but can use my tablet to do that at home .
I have no desire currently to go back to a smart phone,I find life more peaceful without one ,I'm not constantly distracted anymore,I feel more productive at work
When I come home and I hear my wife's phone pinging off with notification after notification, I now see just how distracting and addictive it was , I challenged her to give it up for a week ,just so she too could see how peaceful life is without it , or at least log out of everything and turn off data and WiFi for a week..I know she will see a difference but folk seem worried about missing out on things , which normally only turn out to be rubbish anyway, so I will try and persuade her.
Also ,like I said ,I have less desire to now carry a phone , I have carried one for most of the time since first having one and I thought to myself,how many times has anyone had to call me in an emergency or me use one in an emergency, the answer was zero!
We become programmed to think something terrible will happen if I don't carry it. We managed before them and we used to farm all over back then
So in a nutshell I'm more relaxed, less distracted,no longer addicted,less anxious (waiting for phone to do something) best thing I've done by far , will be continuing, ..
Remember how brilliant sms was when first came out in 90s ?well it still is.
Many thanks for the Vid to get me started 🙂
Im so addicted to smartphone. I would like to quit this shit situation

shituation
I have a huge exam in a couple of days and it's going to end in August from March. My phone is reducing my productivity so much so I'm giving it to my mom to hold. If I locked it away, I could always take the key and open it back up.
Thanks a lot for this video.
I love it ! GREAT video !!! 👍👍
I just ordered a flip phone to help get off social media. And its thanks to you😀
The only downside is that people nowadays expect everything to be done in a couple of minutes. Without a smartphone this isn’t the case, you’ll prob get late to your job cuz you don’t have uber or like he said u forget to reply to this work related thing. But that way you’ll experience way more things like u would use public transportation and interact with people more often and people will see you as a bit careless and maybe a bit jealous bc they aren’t in control of their own life as u.
Love my Nokia 8800 and blackberry pgp ❤️
I will be using the first ever iPhone SE and it is so old but it will help me be more mindful and minimalistic
Starting from tomorrow. 🙌
C.C. man youRe Better than Saturday Night Live & 3rd time you Brought up Fried egg Ladies wow Thank you
New flip phone Happens to be On the way. Subscribed. Nice kitchen. YouRe The King of Culture !!
I'm going to try one. Great video. 👍
Did you give it a try yet?
I'm with you. I call those dumb things, "smart-ass-phones." They are a huge time wasting load of crap. How may times when you go out you see scores of people glued to those bloody things. I feel so tempted sometimes to grab their smart-ass-phone and throw it in the trash and tell them to get a bloody life. I need a phone for one thing, and one thing only, and that's to make phone calls. Wow, how profound is that. Mahalo!!
And you must bee Islamic. Or moist with your stupid thoughts bloody sucker. Just wait till someone pops you in the face for taking your own sweet time pulling out your stupid dumb phone and being inconvenient to them. Nobody in their mind these days wants to wait on someone that doesn’t have a smart phone. You can’t legislate society these days cause you know that everyone pretty much has a smart phone you dimwit I would love to throw all those bloody stupid flip phones in the trash actually. They are nothing but a burden and make your life a living hell!!! Yea you just wait till yo hare standing in line and someone pops you cause you are taking to long with your stupid ass dumb phone. Bee smart not stupid!! Work smarter not bee a burden. You will remember these words when yo hare standing in line at the post office and the postal service guy gets pissed off with you cause you can’t scan the QR code. You have to demand a copy of your little code that you could have just done on your smart phone but knowing stupid idiots like you wanting to try and prove that you are so better than everyone else is not going to work jack ass!!!! Only a moron would do stuff like this cause society is smart. We are not going back. We are progressing in society not regressing. So why don’t you shove that dumb phone in your squeaky little ass and go back to your ommish country. And hide yourself for ever with your horse and buggy ommish boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So the last few days I've just treated my smartphone like an old landline phone. Meaning I leave the phone at home and only use it for phone calls and voicemail. I've adjusted pretty easy so far and don't really miss it. Maybe sometime next week or so I'll buy a flip phone but currently I'm not having a problem going back to living life like it's the 1990s again.
However it's really odd and disturbing to see everyone around me staring at little rectangular objects in there hands all the time. Even while walking and occasionally while driving.
You have the same phone that my granddad and I have.it's so great.
Ive been using a flip phone for 7 months now and I dont intend on going back to a smartphone at all!
I actually just bought a flip phone and I’m planning to do at least 30 days with it. If not longer.
Great tips!!
You can press and hold the OK button to use voice to text for sending text messages.
100 % agree 👍, very addicted with smartphone, then you no longer smart. Thank you Bros, I have been thinking about this too long already. It's time to detox and fasting...
I went back to a flip phone 15 months ago and will never go back. You don't realize how zombie-like we have become until you switch back and watch others on their smartphones. People will try to talk you out of it, but it is totally worth it to make the switch!
I'm contemplating downgrading to a flip phone and keeping my smartphone as an "entertainment device" for video games (which are now free for mobile versions).
Missed one thing self control.
I grew up with bar and flip phones and transition to a smart phone and I don't do those things all the time. There's some things I could be better at at but I have fairly good self-control that usually I am talking to somebody rather than actually doing things I need to do. I didn't say I had a good procrastination.
Self control is definitely huge when it comes to smart phones!
I will try it.
I have a brick phone with no Internet at all just calls, text and Music.
Gonna try a month
Thank you!
Very Helpful!
Whenever he mentions his wife and look at her, that's butterflies! Hehe
I just got my old Blackberry 9810 out the draw and its charging right now so in the morning I am going to give this challenge a whirl.
Loved that phone. Pretty sure they were encrypted too, so they’re pretty secure.
This is awesome! 9:00 is pretty good.
I think it's time for me to get a sidekick ;)
It has been on my mind often to do that change back to flip phone. Or similar. I still keep my blackberry on a box dormant. I've tried first to uninstall my social apps and it actually helped but then my friends will keep sending me stuff and asking me to look up stuff.
Now you've tempted me to go off looking for the unicorn that is the Nokia 808.
Damn you!
I subscribed and liked coz i was crazy with these flip phones! I might be more productive if i have one. Hopefully i could buy one soon!
Im gonna do this, i hate smartphones and social media
How about now?
I put my smart phone into the highest battery saving mode. When I do that it only allows phone calls and texting. And the battery lasts almost two days without a charge.
Many truths here, thanks for the vid
