![]() I still pulled my phone out at every available opportunity to check if there was something new on it. I then put my sim card in it and my new minimalist smartphone was in hand.Īt first, it seemed like the idea behind the phone hadn't had the desired effect.

This was when the idea of a “ boring” phone began to form. I ‘needed’ the browser for legitimate-sounding reason, so I ‘temporarily’ re-enabled it. I’m sure you can guess what happened next. You can only disable it, which hides it away. ![]() I quickly discovered you cannot delete the system browser. I decided I would delete the Chrome Browser (and the default browser too). However, I ‘needed’ the colour to see the map properly, so I turned it back to color. Next, I set my phone display to grayscale. The next day I just used the Chrome browser to access some of my most used social apps. I felt things were getting serious, so I deleted the Facebook and Reddit apps. After burning through my month’s data in about five days, I then had to purchase ‘top-ups’ at a more expensive rate. Next, I tried deliberately getting a phone plan with low data. That made about zero difference to my weekly usage. I decided I would simply use my phone less. I found out I was using my phone 20-30 hours per week. About midway through last year, I started tracking my phone usage.
