I was forced into a phone change and I just didn't bring along all the apps I used to have and it's been much better. It's hard to say, no this is not adding to my life! I am getting mroe active in my ham radio again though for the time saved bot fiddling around on the phone and while probably not much productive, it's a skill and it's a little more rewarding to get back to my hobby. Best luck with the challenge.

What’s the challenge? Also does your wife hate you doing the challenge because it inconveniences her or is she doing the challenge?

Yeah, what is the challenge and why doesn’t your wife like it?

I challenged myself to downgrade some years back to see how long I could do it. I read maybe 6 months ago a gemlog where some geminauts were doing the same and it reinspired me.

my wife would hate it because it would inconvenience her. For the mandatory phone items, she would have to do it. she can't send me videos, email me things, etc.

I'll be the annoying one and remind everyone that "that sounds cool, send it to me and I'll look at it later" is a completely valid response to people sharing information with you.
