  • Make time speed up by hyper focussing on whatever is hitting that dopamine button untill I'm no longer allowed to stare at it or I fall asleep.

  • Lemmy, reading Kindle books, finding recipes, looking up facts to prove my husband wrong, shopping.

  • What do you spend your time doing on your phone?

    Not much.

    Heck, I don't even check the time on my phone (it's quicker to look at my wrist watch and I think it looks nicer too ;)

    I have a phone because I'm expected to have one but only installed the few apps I must have access to (passwords, digital ID, security, banking & finance apps, and health). Plus, the fewer apps I find helpful on a regular basis (the city public transportation app, taxi, and the Uber app). That's about it.

    The only other installed apps on the phone are those Apple won't let me remove (I grouped them on the second home screen, so I never have to look at them). There is also my cloud app/service (Filen.io) and that document scanning app I purchased so many years ago but that is still regularly updated.

    Not even email is configured, there is no social app (and no YT). I also don't listen to audio messages and never answer unidentified numbers. I will sometimes listen to a podcast but since I tend to take notes while I'm listening to most podcasts I enjoy, I prefer doing it at home not when I'm out so I don't need to use the phone.

    I barely use that phone. As a matter of fact, my monthly data usage amounts to a few mega, at most ;)

    When I'm not busy doing something specific (which seldom requires me using that phone), I'll talk with people around me, or I will try to enjoy more my surroundings, the quietness and silence even. I also love taking long walks, going to museums, expo,...

    When I really want to 'spend time' I'll still try to make something out of it, either by reading the book I carry with me, or I'll be taking personal notes or by sketching something in the notebook I also carry with me.

  • Listening to radio, news, Lemmy, texting, learning Japanese

  • My biggest timesink is working through the entirety of my emulator library. I've got about a thousand entries on this thing.

  • Mainly just playing games through emulators. Sometimes I play actual mobile games but it's rare that I find an actually good mobile game that doesn't lag horrendously on my phone. I also sometimes use it to watch Youtube videos before go to bed.

    There is also some other things but there probably not worth mentioning.

  • I really don't use the phone unless I go out. It has my shopping list, I scan my worksheet, listen to music, messaging, a phone call once in a while.

  • Texting or making calls. I don't use my phone for social media or anything else besides taking photos.

  • Mostly on yt, here, occasionally Mastodon, the occasional Wattpad when I actually feel like I might potentially make progress on something there, or playing one of the only 3 games on my phone (paired down from a lot more on my old device). Oh, and almost always listening to music.
