What is your guilty pleasure app?
Dieter, you didn’t tell everyone that this Palm phone runs Graffiti! (It does; I checked.) (Disclaimer: I used to write about Palm smartphones for Dieter, and I now work for Verizon although on nothing relating to THIS Palm. Which I want. For much the same reason that Dieter bought his Foleo.)

I’m really not sure if anything will save you (or me) from your phone. And tablet, and laptop… It’s the world we’re living in, it’s the era… The gadgets era, where everything changes so quickly that we starting to forget who we are and what we really need. (pay attention to the word need).
So I think the only switch that can turn off your attention from your phone is inside your brain.
And while I’m writing this, I’m also thinking that instead of doing something on my phone, I could just spend some time in a forest that is relatively near to me, breathing fresh air… I could… 🙂
Answer: No.
Why buy something like this,why not just have a self control discipline
4:05 It’s that dude from Glee
just buy an iphone se.
Just having this little overview of which app you’re spending how much time in should be enough to make you aware that you might be wasting some precious hours on garbage. Just put the goddamn phone down and live a little.
I had the samenproblem two years ago, så I got an old Nokia. After four months, I went back to my smartphone, but when that broke nine months ago, i went back to the Nokia. And it works GREAT! I can call and text the people I need to and they can get in touch with me through SMS.
Go light , lightphone 2 looks great!
PALM? Really dieter? Not PLAM but PALM? 😀
Make it harder to reach those apps 😅
Keep clean homescreen

You said “hey Google”…
Is the palm phone like a petpet for your neopet?
My guilty pleasure app is Twitter 😁
Can your phone save you from yourself?
backlash
you have a problem. you admit you have a problem. then you make a video about how you are just not going to deal with it?
I’d like a review of that kitchen.
who’s google Home started playing also?
humans can’t stay awake fully functional/working all the time… you need your rest time (aka time wasted) as you call it… if you didn’t, you wouldn’t be human
Very interesting and thought provoking video; does smartphone addiction really exist, or is it an illusion of productivity?
