leaving house with almost dead DEVICES

I started doing this intentionally now and the reverse psychology of it all actually helps to ground me in real time out in the world doing whatever i'm doing outside of the house. Requires some thinking ahead but not much. You don't need apple pay; just bring your wallet. Once your phone dies let the world unravel at your fingertips. This trick works really well with laptops too. I don't bring my computer charger anymore when I leave the house to work because if I know my laptop will probably die within the next 2-3 hours I can fully lock in and work against the clock. I can actually send the emails I need to send and write what I planned to write with tab surfing and frequent news feed refreshing. I'm an Aries so obviously there is a competitive undertone here that's driving me even if it's just with myself

My smartphone alternative solution: apple watch phone

Like many others, I find myself in the weird middle of wanting (needing) some of the conveniences of modern tech, but not liking its pervasive domination over my life. Smartphones in particular are a source of need but don't want tension. I've tried a lot of approaches to dealing with this and am now 24 hours into the latest try: I got a used Apple Watch (starts at $130) with cellular capabilities. Added it to my mobile plan for an extra $9 a month. Found a little case for the watch on Etsy for really cheap. And my smartphone now basically stays at home, plugged in, more or less untouched. When I go out, I carry around the "watch phone." I can text, call, listen to music and podcasts. Even check the weather, find directions, record a voice memo. I paid for coffee and a lemon blueberry glazed pastry using the watch phone today. I don't wear the watch on my wrist, where it can distract and annoy. It stays in my pocket. And while I do need the phone for some things, like mobile banking, so far nothing there's nothing so urgent that it can't wait a couple hours until I get back to it.
