Decided to ditch my smartphone for a flip phone for 3 months

Back in June I got fed up with staring at a screen all day, so I dug out an old LG flip phone from my drawer and activated it. My coworkers thought I lost my mind, and my mom kept asking if I was okay. Honestly, the first two weeks were rough without maps and group chats, but by month two I started reading actual books again during lunch. Has anyone else tried going back to a simpler phone and stuck with it?

Ngl, I'm shook you actually stuck with it for 3 months. My flip phone lasted like a week before I caved and went back to my iPhone.

Yeah @price.tara, I feel that. The pull of a smartphone is real.

Saw some article about how flipping to a dumb phone actually helps your brain reset after a few weeks. @caleb_stone might be onto something if he can stick with it.
