As part of trying to be more mindful about how I use my device I’ve simplified my home screen a lot. Here’s how it’s currently setup
- Only use utilities or methods of communicating with others on my first page, this covers most of the apps on there
- My wordpress site that allows me to share my thoughts quickly, like this post
- Access to my camera
- A browser to check news rather than Apple News algorithm
- Maps
- Everything else is on the second page with distractions like social media hidden away in a folder.
When I want to launch apps I use spotlight.
This is my setup for now, I'll report back on how it's helping me spend more time focussed on where I want to be using my smartphone.
