Here is a bunch of mini experiments I am doing:
1) A keypad phone
I like how all of us agree that smartphones are Frankenstein's monsters, but at the same time, we can't do anything to stop them.
Well, I am trying something.
I can't completely throw the phone out of my life. But I can keep it tamed. I've put my primary SIM card in my smartphone and a secondary SIM card in an old keypad phone. My primary number is shared with everyone, while the secondary SIM card is shared only with people who might need me in an emergency (like my mom and sister).
I try to keep the primary phone switched off for as much time as I can. I keep it switched off all night and for a good number of hours in the day.
