not sure why but my mental health gets way better when i use my laptop.
im a zoomer so i started out on a phone and only got a laptop a few years ago, i thnk it might be because everytime i opened my phone i would just rot away and i just go back to those habits whenever i use my phone. when i started using a laptop my entire schedule changed and updated(for the better). and having a slow laptop is prob also good to avoid wasting too much time on video games lmao
I don’t know about you, but it seems to me that phone OSes and apps are designed to steal our attention at all the times. I find it hard to do stuff while receiving notifications here and there, or even knowing that a new notification may pop up at any time. If fells like trying to do something while someone is watching and poking me all the time.
Gen Z here, I actually had the exact opposite problem. I don’t really use a smartphone now, but when I did use it daily, while I could get into some article rabbitholes, it was never to a painful extent. Probably because the phone is small and not at all comfortable to interact with long-term. But when I am on the laptop - I often lose track of time spent on IRC, youtube and newsfeeds. I now try to strictly limit the time to only what’s needed (unless IRC has a conversation that is really relevant for me), and download most articles onto an E-reader for a less painful experience.

because a laptop doesn’t interrupt you every 30 seconds with a notification about some shit you don’t care about
Revanced
Do Not Disturb would work better for that issue. Revanced is good though. +1
I’ll check it out.
