I plan to be able to leave my phone at home and just access regular communications when I’m at a regular public computer. I hope this will further reduce my decision fatigue and simplify my routine while reducing distractions. Nobody contacts me urgently anyway and I feel very safe in my regular routine, while very rarely contacting people by phone who I can’t contact otherwise. Optimise everything!
Here are the IFTTT recipe’s I will be using. Hope they’re handy for any imitators out there:
What exactly is the problem you are trying to solve? Does the phone bother you because you want to carry as little stuff as possible, or because if you have it you cannot resist using it? If the former, okay; if the latter, there may be better solutions, such as putting your phone in a difficult-to-open package.
