Actually technology is designed to make us further addicted, so alerts are a good example- how many times are they really urgent or necessary though. A whole industry has been built on this. We get dopamine (reward) hits from it short term. I think many of us struggle with this. Maybe more so being remote during lockdowns.
I think it’s awesome you had such a productive day after losing your phone, that’s a good discovery to make. I need to take a leaf from your book definitely! Hoping you can visit your family soon too, maybe even planning a trip will be positive for you? |

I agree! I didn’t grow up with the tech so the whole “like” or “helpful” votes can be hard on self-esteem unless people have plenty of experience in building a thick skin. To me it’s like a popularity contest. During lockdowns I didn’t even have this phone. But I didn’t think it’d last too long! So isolation is more unbearable while grieving. It’s like a mental prison. No in person support groups for sure, and I don’t have access or knowledge of Zoom. I hate that word now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk __________________ Call me "owl" for short!

True it’s short term and if you don’t get notifications the disappointment is so brutal.
