📱 Switched to a Smaller Phone

swap's musings

I recently switched phones. Here’s how my habits changed:

  1. My media consumption on phone has practically dropped to zero, as it has a smaller screen size (5.4 inches compared to the previous 6.55). I do it on my tablet now.
  2. I used to play a lot of idle clicker games on my phone. Smaller phone came with a smaller battery as well, so it had an unintended consequence of breaking this habit. I miss this - eagerly waiting to get my hands on PS5.

So yeah, now my phone only serves its original purpose - keeping in touch with folks. All work happens on my laptop. And all fun (includes upskilling) happens on my tablet. I’m liking this separation of concerns.

Until We Meet Again…
