I made my phone super annoying to check.

i kept picking up my phone for no reason and then getting annoyed at myself for picking up my phone for no reason, so i made my phone more annoying to check. not in a dramatic “delete everything and become a better person” way. this is a video about introducing small, stupid friction to stop myself from checking the rectangle in my pocket every sixteen minutes. i swear it works. timestamps 0:00 why i made checking my phone annoying 0:46 step 1: move the apps 1:35 step 2: mute the apps (and phone) 3:12 step 3: physical distance, unfortunately 4:02 bonus step: what am i hoping changed? notesfromreb — technology, taste, feelings, and modern life
