a few iPhone thoughts

20 Mar, 2026

Reasons I like my iPhone:

1. The camera
2. Music, podcasts, and audio books
3. Quick and consistent communication with friends and family

Reasons I DON'T like my iPhone:

1. Social media and news
2. The urge to immediately "search" for something, instead of taking the time to wonder
3. The frequency with which I open it out of boredom

My solution:

1. Delete all social media and news apps
2. Delete the browser
3. Family only between 7 pm and 7 am

Over the past several weeks, my average time of use has dropped significantly.

So has my grumpiness.
