so that when i wake up there's at least some sort of threshold between me and my phone,—and that threshold requires putting on pants—so maybe (just maybe) i won't end up doomscrolling in bed in my underwear every morning.
lowkey it works

There are a lot of phone haters on this app and I respect that.
I always thought ppl who slept with their phone out of reach were insane.
I have a hard time waking up in the morning, but I saw this video of this woman saying the sleep you get after your alarm goes off is so bad it’s not even worth it. So set your alarm as late as you can and then just get up. This has really helped me so I don’t care if it’s true and I don’t want to know unless it is.
if the phone is across the room I don’t scroll before bed, which I’m kinda mostly weaned off anyway, but I also don’t get that creepy fake fomo that makes me need to check it one last time before I close my eyes AND I also have to get up to turn the alarm off. And then I have a second to remember it’s not worth getting back in bed.
Sometimes you even get a surprise text or something from after you put it down and that can be fun
I don’t know if phone is more good or bad. Easy to fetishize a “simpler time” I never even lived through. But I think we are in control of our destinies and don’t need it as much as we think. Real life is better.
This was about waking up to alarm but now it’s about phone.
Ps I wrote this standing where I leave my phone for the night

I've been leaving my phone out of my bedroom when I go to sleep and don't go on it until I'm ready for my day. has genuinely made my morning so much better

I know it sounds so obvious. Journaled and read before bed and journaled again this morning, all because the temptation was removed. It really does work.

made a joke post on substack notes that i honestly still think is pretty funny but it turns out it went whoosh right over a lot of peoples' heads, especially on twitter people thought it was serious,—and so here i am with my phone blowing up because friends and people i haven't heard from in years are just seeing it on their feeds and texting me allll about it
