Wow. I don't know if I could do that but I'm thinking what steps I could take with the inspiration that I'm feeling from your achievement.

Beautiful. Hope to be there someday.
I don’t understand why and how so many women who don’t have a smartphone will have a husband who does. If anything it makes more sense for the opposite. How do you manage with that? My husband needs it for work , there’s no way he’s not having one. It’s definitely filtered, as is my phone. But we use a lot of features together - WhatsApp is super useful for us. Just curious , why and how does it work by you?

I don't have Facebook, Whatsapp, Insta.
I do waste too much time reading imamother : )
Also WAY too much time too close to bedtime. I do all the NYT word games & now a few on Merriam Webster. And I know it's bad bec I often do the Spelling Bee at 3 am.
I mostly watch shiurim online though sometimes while in the kitchen.
However my kids are grown & I don't use the phone when there are people around.
So, on balance, need to cut down. Or juat have more self-control.

Aside from freeing up your mind, how did you go about building your relationship with Hashem?

I’m working on it.
Have no browser, no social media. No App Store. No games.
But I need the camera and email for work.
Every time I try to shut my phone or leave it in the car I miss that call from the dr or whoever I have been waiting for weeks. Wonder if there is a way to put the phone on do not disturb and just leave incoming phone calls. |
There is a call forwarding feature in many phones. You can forward the calls to your home number or to a dumb phone.

It’s filtered and he needs it for work. He constantly asks me to unlock even normal websites like eichlers

If you have Samsung you can set up a mode to block whatever apps you want for the time it’s on.

The less convenient it is to use the less you use it.
