nicolaspro1234··on Ask HN: Do you think that your smartphone is main source of distraction
App removal does help but it is radical; a smoother way would be good.

Facebook is an app that I never installed, but I can not keep from going on it through my browser, even though I gain nothing from it. I would love to find a way not to browse it anymore. I have not tried any digital detox on smartphone. I can not really judge it.

I have decided that I will buy a bass guitar this week-end so that I spend less time on screen. Low-tech solution.

Yes. We do need to handle it. I am gradually removing distractive apps from my phone. (Happiness) Return on time invested on smartphone is crazily low for me, maybe even negative.

Use of smartphone also grows with self-isolation and depression, creating a feeling loop.

We need tech that motivates its users to get away from screens. My objective is to reduce as much as possible my passive use of smartphone. Just do not know how to reach it.
