Dumb Phones

I think I just want a phone that makes phone calls and does text messages. Having the ability to play music would be nice but not required. 

It's hard, though, because my non-dumb phone is also my car GPS and lets me check messages from work. It's all the hundred other things it does that I don't really like.

I don't like those things because I am weak and can't avoid them. I use social media way too much, the big ones I mean. Mostly Instagram. Like 90%. So I deleted it off my phone, to try to be better.

Instead of spending 2 hours a day watching reels and stories I'm going to just not do that. What good does it do me? None! It's two hours I could be reading or re-watching classic Simpsons episodes or improving my HTML/CSS knowledge.

I think a dumb phone would fix this, but the downside is the useful stuff I like. It'd be nice to have the good, helpful stuff (maps, music, email) but the stuff that trips me up (all the other stuff) was unavailable, but the middle road here is to just remove the bad stuff from my smart phone.
