Just switched to a dumb phone a couple of weeks ago. The only online stuff I do now is from a laptop.

At first I felt some Internet withdrawal symptoms, but those are dissipating rapidly. I'm hoping to get to a state of existence by spring where the only time I go online is when I absolutely must (for email or to pay certain paperless bills, for example).

I am already feeling much calmer and more focused. I do not feel as though I am missing out on anything. Family and friends can still reach me with a phone call or an SMS text (no multimedia on this phone!).

I highly recommend it for anyone who is feeling the urge to unclutter their mind.
