After my dad passed away from cancer in 2021 at the age of 40, i decided to decrease use of phones/ ipad to soak in life more (since it suddenly seems short). Only for pics, text, call, gps and music. With the occasional use to look things up. Ive been struggling with sticking to it, i’ll have random moments of using youtube or Facebook too much. Im considering using pretty much only an apple watch so the temptations will be gone and keeping my iphone 11 pro in my car as a just in case. Ive never had an apple watch, does it seem like this would fulfill what i need it to do? Im not planning on leaving it on 24/7 only when im out and about. Or should i just upgrade and continue practicing keeping screentime low? My iphone 11 pro is in great shape just starting to get a little laggy so i dont have a need to upgrade yet.

    You really know what’s important in life, keep trying to hold onto that.

    I’d say try the AW, it’s difficult for someone else to give you the answer. I use just my watch when out for walks four times a day. Sometimes I listen to podcasts or music (AirPods), so I’m just pointing out you could be less unplugged than you want. I opt not to get message notifications on my watch unless they’re emergency. Practicing self discipline is likely more what you want, and possibly just setting up Focus modes on your phone might help. I have mine set up to change focus modes and make my phone what I need it to be at certain hours of the day. Hope that helps some!
