mindfulness

I am ready to quit my phone.

My motivation is to improve my effectiveness in, and enjoyment of, life.

I am confident it will be net beneficial to remove my phone as the crutch to which I default my attention in lieu of anything else occupying it in a given moment.

PHONE RULES:

I think we’ll see a bifurcation of society in this way: some will continue to be perpetually plugged in, while others will minimize connected phone time 

I think it’s all about intent, which is often something lacking when it comes to phone use - a result of the addicting software we’re exposed to constantly

"all about intent" is dead on. 

it seems to me that intentional action naturally arises in the absence of a default for one's unoccupied attention (aka the phone)

Indeed. One “hack” I use is to have nothing particularly addictive for me on the homepage of my phone. Everything in that category has to be in a folder a couple pages back.

Yes exactly! To me this is “mindfulness”, the natural opposite of mindlessness. 

Everyone operating in fight or flight defaults to a reactive, mindless state (lacking intent)

And for sure, this is a big element of what made atomic habits popular imo, the relationship between environmental stimuli (or lack thereof) and habit formation that arises based on the structure established in the environment
