I Tried Slow Living Using a Dumb Phone for a Week

Join me on my 1-week slow living dumb phone digital detox experiment where I ditched my smartphone for a simple flip phone, embracing digital minimalism. I review the Alt MIVE Style Folder 1, an Android flip phone, to combat phone addiction and reduce my screen time. In this honest review, I share my experience with the minimalist phone, discussing digital wellness and slow living. By using a dumbphone, I aimed to break free from social media addiction, including the constant need to check social media apps, and instead, cultivate a more mindful approach to technology. Throughout my digital wellness journey, I discovered the joys of simple living, reduced my reliance on technology, and improved my mental health. If you're considering a digital detox or want to learn more about the benefits of using a dumb phone, watch my video to find out how this experiment affected my life and whether I'd recommend it to others looking to adopt a more minimalist approach to technology and achieve a better work-life balance.
