A few days ago a stranger on Mastodon told me about something that has changed my life in a subtle but important way.

@antiquedigital told me that he switched his phone to grayscale to make it less appealing and keep himself from wasting time on it.

And HOLY SHIT has this ever worked for me.

Severed my last remaining connection to time-wasters on my phone.

@mimsical and there’s instructions on how to quickly toggle back to color mode to inspect photos etc.! Nice!!!

@mimsical Trying this now. Being able to toggle it on and off easily is great. I don’t think I’d want this on while using the camera. Thanks!
