Greater intentionality in mundane things. Wanted to go somewhere? Mark it on the map. Photos? You only have so much film left. Trying to remember a phone number, address, passcode, note? 9 times out of 10, you'd write it down and carry it with you.

Smartphones are a technological miracle but we lost a lot of intention through the convenience, which has pros and cons.

I have been intentionally de-smarting my life in various ways. The next step is a seperate camera i think. Ill probably get a little digital one for convenience but i have a polaroid for exactly those kinds of intentional shots

I'm GPS free and greatly enjoy having to figure out where I'm going before I leave the house. What are some other examples of your de-digitzed life?

I have also abandoned gps. I still use phone maps but im on organic maps and just navigate the old school way. Ive also fully abandoned streaming other than nebula. All of my media is either files on my computer or hard copies. Same goes for cloud storage of any kind. Other than that, i just try to use cash and public transit as much a possible. No longer on meta or google. Just lemmy really

Edit: like i said, just de smarting. Not really dedigitizing
