I realized why turning off notifications works for some people and not me for reducing tech use. At one time I got many discord notifications, on another Instagram. Now all the notifications I get (on the off screen of my phone) are texts that I often don’t feel like responding to. Meanwhile I’m in the habit of constantly checking things like Lemmygrad because someone just might have replied to me. Lack of notifications don’t deter me because I’m used to opening my phone and refreshing. Suppose I should re-declutter.
omg same 😭😭😭😭 I just try to distract myself with writing fanfics or drawing stuff instead of social media.
I just want to read actual books, but I’m far more drawn to this unfortunately. It requires less focus.
That sentence might as well describe me lol
The worst part is that the only books I have are PDFs so I only read on my phone. Thankfully I don’t have many distractions, just the Lemmy app
Can you see the text of PDFs ok on your phone? I’d love to read them on mine but the text is usually too small for me.
I dunno, I made myself used to it tbh. It’s the only portable reader I have. Before reading books I read mangas and it was a real pain, still I had read a lot.
