I’m also always thinking about how my phone can enhance my interests and hobbies without the downside of over-engaging in bad and unhealthy habits. I kinda took the marie kondo method and used it on my phone, I (mostly) only have apps that bring me joy (VSCO, Audible, Substack ect) and the rest I setup in a way that is least distracting. I have two Instagram accounts, one only for job related stuff that I use to quickly scroll through my feed and explore page to stay up to date & a personal one with only close friends & family. That way there isn’t too much new content to consume anyways. Twitter is probably my main time consumption but I think I created a good bubble of people I follow that I find enjoyable without too much politics and drama. Oh and ofc no notification sounds or push-ups.

I need to do a very vicious Marie Kondo! I like your digital boundaries. Do you feel like you're coexisting with your apps/tech? I can't decide whether I prefer strong limits, or more like splitting my time between online/offline e.g. 3 months offline, one month on, and so on.

90% of my „screentime“ is audible & Podcast so I feel quite good about that. It doesn’t feel like strong limits because I don’t feel like I am missing out on anything
