Digital Minimalism

I removed social media apps from my phone two years ago. Here is what happened.

What I Kept

• Messaging (Signal, iMessage)
• Maps, camera, music, podcasts
• Browser (with restrictions)

What I Removed

• Instagram, Twitter, Reddit
• News apps
• Games

The first week was uncomfortable. The second week was liberating. I gained back roughly two hours per day. Notifications are interruptions by design. Remove the option to be interrupted.
