Mat Duggan on smartphone fatigue: 'Now the smartphone is a tax'

Commenters propose boundary-setting and meditation as solutions

3 Yesterday 9:12 AM · 1d ago · 3 comments · 1 source · development 3 of 7

Several readers offer practical approaches: one suggests meditation and creating separation between work and leisure time; another advocates disabling all notifications and using open-source apps only; a third proposes a phone locked to laptop-based configuration to reduce temptation.

“I think it is as easy as setting boundaries: practice meditation. Learn to enjoy sitting and doing nothing, both in the living room and sitting outside.”
