I'm making my first post here on Leminal Space because I hear it's a better alternative to Reddit. One that's more privacy-oriented, less rage-baity, and less pro-corporate.

About 9 months ago, I made the switch from a smartphone to a flip phone, and boy did it make my life so much better. I've become less dependent on technology, and I've become more self-sufficent. Printing maps with MapQuest and MyOSMmatic have been quite a lot of fun. And I also feel smarter because "Googling things" have become much more inconvenient.

Carrying a notebook with me has also allowed me to draw more, and I also feel less distracted. Anyone else switched to a flip phone? If so, what are your ways to manage life without a smart phone?
