My personal mission of reducing my screentime as much as possible means that I now carry a bag of outdated tech and paper everywhere I go: I couldn't be happier.
Love this Sol... I am a fellow album listener (I despise curating playlists and find that most albums are created to listen to in full lol) and I also carry my book/journal almost everywhere to avoid looking at my phone. Not foolproof but it does feel silly to doomscroll when I have two forms of 'entertainment' in my bag!!
A great topic to talk about! I myself recently switched from carrying around my smartphone to “feature phone” flip phone. It is so much more satisfying flipping it out in the open, and the desire to scroll is basically 0. If someone needs to reach me - they will, but I can listen to music, flip it out and live more in the moment.
So happy for you! Idk what your listening situation off the ipod is but if you haven’t yet I would really recommend looking into some iems. Even very cheap ones (mine are $20) deliver better sound than any wireless earbud in my opinion
