How I fixed my smartphone addiction: I have 2 phones - Cocaine Phone & Kale Phone Here's how it works: 1. The Smartphone Paradox - Your phone is a gateway to the world's best knowledge -- and the world's best distractions. It's like having the best teachers, strip clubs, and social clubs in your pocket 24-7. 2. Society's Solution - There are 2 paths people use to deal with the smartphone paradox: • Phone addict - Glued to phone constantly. • Phoneless luddite - No access to the best technology of this century so far. You either burn out or miss out. Instead, there's a 3rd door nobody in society is talking about: The Cocaine-Kale Phone protocol. 3. The Cocaine-Kale Protocol I have 2 phones: • Kale Phone - Full stack serotonin. Only notes, Kindle, Uber, Maps, and emergency number for 2-3 people to call. • Cocaine Phone - Full stack dopamine. Twitter. Instagram. TikTok. WhatsApp. Anyone can contact. 4. How does the Kale Phone work? I can check this 24-7 - but it's so damn vanilla I don't feel the need to. If I want to procrastinate on it, I must read a book or generate ideas in my notes. (Win-Win) I get 90% of the upsides of having a phone -- with none of the addiction. 5. How does the Cocaine Phone work? I don't check it until ∼12pm on weekdays and ∼2pm on weekends. I still get the optionality that smartphones and social media produce. But I don't consume it 24-7 until my brain melts. 6. What are the impacts? • The Kale Phone resets your baseline. • Your Cocaine phone feels too intense after 60 minutes per day. You start to crave the Kale phone.
