On Digital Minimalism
One of the hardest parts I&#x27;ve found in winnowing the amount of sheer information I process every day was my iPhone. I solved it by limiting my access to a few key apps, silencing non-critical notifications(Re: Email) and deleting Safari. Anything that I can access through a browser and check once a day (Here&#x27;s looking at you Instagram) was locked out of my phone&#x2F;removed. Downside: The Internet is no longer in my pocket and occasionally I am required to use 411 and call someone.<p>Turned my iPhone into a almost-dumbphone using Configurator and have seen nothing but improvements to daily-life.
