Great idea. I did a walk to on Sunday, 8 hours of not looking at my smartphone and actually talking to people. Totally agree just carrying a smartphone created an urge to continually check it.
It's not just the smartphone though, so many aspects of our lives now resemble short-term distractions. Work emails and chat channels, news media etc. Creating time to engage in a disruption free, focused activity is becoming increasingly hard.
Good on you Simon for trying out the dumb phone, please update us in a few weeks with how you are getting on.
Love this! 100% agree. I’m not sure I want to watch the doc though, as it might make me angry by the sounds of it. Thank you so much for sharing as always Simon.

Thank you Jimmy, I appreciate your kind words. Yes the doc was anger inducing, but important anger I think. Have a great Christmas 🌲
Yes, you’ve done a profitable thing.
Thank you Peter 🙏
Hey, I ONLY have dumb phones! I've never gotten a smart phone :) Welcome to the club!
I have often thought about doing this but after reading this I definitely will.
