In this episode, I talk about:

• Why smartphones stress you out, from constant notifications to the expectation that you’re always-on and always available, and how this impacts your mental health
• The challenge of maintaining data privacy when using smartphones to store or manage personal, health, and financial data
• How social interaction has decreased and loneliness has increased as smartphone ownership has risen
• Why smartphones are the ultimate distraction, affecting your focus and productivity
• The rise of dumbphones – simpler phone models with basic features and less connectivity than modern smartphones – and Newtro, the trend of reinventing retro cultural artifacts
• Why dumbphones are inherently appealing in the digital age and the benefits of owning one, from easier to use interfaces and better data security, to lower running costs, nostalgia, and the desire to live a digitally minimalist lifestyle
• How to decide if you’re ready for a dumbphone and the steps to make the transition from a smartphone
• The 24 Hour No Smartphone Challenge
