Why I Switched from a Smartphone to The Light Phone

When we told people we were ditching our smartphones, the assumption was that we were about to throw all our devices—TVs, laptops, everything—off a cliff. But that wasn’t the case. We simply realized that we no longer needed a smartphone to stay connected to the world. Removing it from our lives was part of a broader effort to practice digital minimalism, a topic I'll address in a different post. Let me tell you, when the distraction isn’t sitting in your pocket, it’s a lot easier to start removing more of your digital life than you’d think. For more details on the Light Phone, you can visit their site, but essentially, it’s a phone stripped back to what it originally was—a simple device for calls and texts.
