Attempting a digital detox, part 1

On April 8th, I decided I'd try a digital detox (or something similar), since I finally had everything I needed for it. An old phone with basically no apps and Wi-Fi calling so I could receive and make calls, an iPod for music, and other stuff like separate notepads for specific things, like a diary or a list of reminders.

So far it has been 3 days and it's been going relatively okay. I haven't had any temptations to go back to my main phone but I *have* been missing one thing from it - the amazing camera. Regarless, the iPhone 5S still has a relatively okay camera which is absurd, since it came out in around 2013. I expected the photos to look like they were taken on a flip phone with a VGA camera, but they're honestly pretty okay.

The iPod has definitely been the thing I've used the most during this test, because I just like listening to music a lot. Maybe Jobs had a point. It being a 30GB model with a slightly dead hard drive kinda sucks, since the bad sectors make it a 23-ishGB iPod, but I've already bought a SD card board. Anyway.

One negative of this current situation is that I've definitely been using my desktop a lot more. Being in this room for hours on end kinda sucks. I should probably set up some kind of screen time limit, though I don't know if KDE Plasma even supports that. I could probably just get rid of the entire setup, but that seems overkill. I should just put a post-it note on my monitor that says something like "hey don't look at the computer for too long".

If you have any recommendations or anything for setting up screen time limits or something on KDE Plasma, please do let me know.
That's the current situation. It's 6.33AM, so I should probably go to bed. See y'all.
