Blissfully untracked and unminded ☺️

This is probably the way. I'm curious of the overall benefit of these stats tbh.

Taps into Quantified Self dopamine receptors that if we quantify behavior, we can become its master

hmm interesting! so you're saying by not tracking it, you're not interested in mastering behavior?

Replying to @rishvee @ssbittle

No, I'm saying that tracking it in a format limited to a range of roman numerals is a very narrow and myopic form of information that have very little to do with the embodied behavior of an experience, but somehow our dumb brains are certain that metrics = truth

Ah ok fair. do you feel the need to track this metric at all? I'd say most people are aware that some portion of screen time is wasteful/unproductive so want to mitigate that. and the current metric helps with that but maybe there's a better one coming soon..

Roughly 1.5h. I mostly use it for socials, meditation and podcasts, and I’ve got almost all notifications turned off. Trying to reduce 😶🫣

Replying to @alicetragedy

yeah the notifications and 'pickups' seem to be silent killers
