Particularly when we pack them full of apps intended to capture our attention and keep us looking away from the world around us.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The first step in creating a minimalist phone is to make using it less appealing. Start by removing some of the apps that you haven\u2019t used in at least a month.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Getting rid of apps will give you fewer excuses to use your phone.

For instance, many of us spend at least 2:40 hours each day on popular social media channels like Instagram, Snapchat, and Twitter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If you can remove these apps from your phone, you\u2019ll be less likely to check your profiles when you don\u2019t need to. Remember, you can still access the content that you want from your smartphone browser if you wish.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">At the same time, try to remove as many infinite scrolling apps as you can. Those are the apps on your phone that can continue to offer new and shiny things the more you scroll. Those include apps like Instagram, Tik Tok, and so on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">By the time you\u2019re done\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">purging<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, everything on your phone should serve a definite purpose.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Turn_Off_Sounds_Notifications\"><\/span>Step 2: Turn Off Sounds &amp; Notifications<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1465 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gizmogrind.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Bisque-and-White-Traditional-Life-Quote-Instagram-Post-1.png\" alt=\"illustration of purple speaker on silent mode\" width=\"240\" height=\"166\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gizmogrind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Bisque-and-White-Traditional-Life-Quote-Instagram-Post-1.png 636w, https:\/\/gizmogrind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Bisque-and-White-Traditional-Life-Quote-Instagram-Post-1-300x207.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Simplifying your phone and overcoming your addiction to technology doesn\u2019t have to be as complicated as it seems.

They leave you always on edge, expecting the next buzz or chime.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">To help you focus on the world around you more than your phone, remove all notifications aside from the crucial ones \u2013 like your phone calls and messages. Once you do decide to check your phone, make sure that you\u2019re just looking at it for a moment or two, not sitting and staring at it all day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">When you\u2019re supposed to be focusing on work, meditation or family time, turn your phone on silent completely. You\u2019ll always be able to call someone back if they contact you about something urgent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Remember, your phone doesn\u2019t control you with flashing screens and sounds.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_Create_a_Minimalist_Home_Screen\"><\/span>Step 3: Create a Minimalist Home Screen<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-1467 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gizmogrind.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/phone-home-screen-illustration.png\" alt=\"phone home screen illustration\" width=\"136\" height=\"227\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gizmogrind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/phone-home-screen-illustration.png 378w, https:\/\/gizmogrind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/phone-home-screen-illustration-150x250.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 136px) 100vw, 136px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Okay.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">So, you\u2019ve dealt with time stealing apps and turned off those pesky notifications.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Now, let\u2019s deal with the home screen trap.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Usually, when you unlock your smartphone \u2013 even to do something simple, like checking your email, you\u2019re bombarded with an endless supply of apps, badges, and notifications. It\u2019s no wonder that we end up forgetting what we were meant to be doing and getting lost in all the activity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Fortunately,\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">you can reduce your risk of being overwhelmed by your screen by removing some of those home page applications and widgets. Start by just having one thing on the front of your phone home screen \u2013 a clock. If you need to have apps underneath that, stick to three or less. Maybe you\u2019ll have your note-taking app, your calendar, and your WhatsApp application.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The rest of your apps can go into a single folder and be placed outside of your home screen. If you only have one page on your phone, then keep your folder in the bottom corner of the screen, where it\u2019s less likely to take up your attention.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Once you\u2019ve sorted the app situation out, think about how you can make the home screen less eye-catching by removing any animations and overwhelming wallpapers. Get rid of that wallpaper that constantly changes from one second to the next and replace it with something simple that makes you smile or feel more peaceful. You don\u2019t need a wallpaper that\u2019s always scrolling through your entire gallery. It\u2019s more likely to demand your attention.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Practice_Some_Self_Control\"><\/span>Practice Some Self Control<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-1471\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gizmogrind.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/dotted-line-circle-purple-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"dotted line circle purple\" width=\"251\" height=\"251\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gizmogrind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/dotted-line-circle-purple-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/gizmogrind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/dotted-line-circle-purple-250x250.png 250w, https:\/\/gizmogrind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/dotted-line-circle-purple-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/gizmogrind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/dotted-line-circle-purple-50x50.png 50w, https:\/\/gizmogrind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/dotted-line-circle-purple.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 251px) 100vw, 251px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The three steps above will help you to design a more minimalist smartphone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">However, simplifying your device is only the first step.

You\u2019ll need to make sure that you\u2019re being more mindful of the way that you use your phone too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">For instance, consider timing how long you spend on your phone whenever you check it at work. For example, if you need to check something on a message, give yourself a total of 20 seconds from the moment you pick up your phone to find what you need and get off your phone again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If you can\u2019t give up your phone habits immediately, consider setting out a gap of time each day where you can sit down with your device for 20 minutes and scroll to your heart\u2019s content.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">For instance, you might choose to have a phone-focused session before work or spend twenty minutes of your lunch, checking your phone.
