Yes!This is why Im not so hasty on buying a dumbphone to replace my smartphone.Consumerism has convinced ppl that a purchase of an item will force them to change like a magnet.

Additionally,Screenzen is a good app to limit screentime definitely.Also monochrome colour filters.

And,not gonna lie,one attractor of a flip dumbphone is just to satisfy my curiosity of navigating a limited flip phone(Gen z lol)

So true. Please continue inspiring people with what you do Jose. I am waiting for your book to arrive and looking forward to read it! Last week I took the plunge and pre-ordered LP3. This weekend I trialled a much scary (to me) activity. I switched my sim from my s series to a dumbphone. Everything looked difficult, a chore, from opening my military-cased smartphone to access the sim, to informing my loved ones of the change in my usual communication practices. I did not feel I could extend my waiting until LP3 arrives because my mental health is at stake. What a wonderful movement this low-slow-tech movement this is! I hope I can, one day, also contribute and spread good feelings in similar ways.
