But what does that have to do with introversion? Extroverts can focus or make mandalas.
Its likely unrelated to the behavior and more about focusing on yourself. which is technically the definition of the word We're just too used to the psychological definition

I don't get what introvert has to do with focus. Besides that, if you really need to stay off your phone, consider a "distraction free" phone as outlined in the book Make Time by Jake Knapp. Its a solid book but you can also glean that part of it from his blog: https://medium.com/make-time/six-years-with-a-distraction-fr...

I was first using a dumb phone but soon realized that I need at least a maps application when I am abroad in a foreign city. Not being able to search for addresses on the go is also very unhandy if you don't wanna visit police stations around the world. For my current Android I decided to get an upstream open source one (one out of four, to be exact, because there are not many blob free ones). Switched to OmniROM hea…

Hey! Thank you for your interest and comments! Just a bit of background thinking. The app named Introvert is a generative artwork aimed to help you stay off your phone. Right now we´re being asked to lead a sedentary life (for the sake of others and our own wellbeing). Only the mind is allowed to wonder. I wish Introvert can help us lead a focused everyday where mindful practise will direct us to make the most of the…

I've switched to a "dumb phone" over 2 years ago and I have no plans of turning back. I've recently published a piece about it https://pawelurbanek.com/mobile-internet-addiction-focus

I block all of the classic social notifications/apps, and I keep it on 24/7 apart from times I deliberately go out of my way to consciously press "Take a Break" for 5/10 minutes. The deliberate friction here is, of course, a welcome feature.
