HOW TO MAKE YOUR PHONE LESS ENGAGING

GREYSCALE is one of the best tools for being less distracted

Color Filters have *finally* been added to Shortcuts. That means you can now use some apps in color & others in greyscale (!!)

How it works:

"I used to think there were no great political struggles left. How wrong I was. The liberation of human attention may be the defining moral and political struggle of our time. Its success is the prerequisite for the success of virtually all other struggles." — James Williams

An ambitious + practical proposal for regulating attention-extractive products to increase consumer agency.

What, how, why 👇

The attention economy is destroying our wellbeing and productivity. We talked to @welfvh, founder of @potential_app, about...

• Rethinking our relationship with tech
• Turning intentions into habits
• Implementing fallback strategies

...and more! 👇

@duolingo integration 🇵🇹🇪🇸🇩🇪🇯🇵🇬🇧

Auto-complete your intentions based on your xp progress in Duolingo. Works like magic.

Happy practice!

@ouraring integration 💍💤

I’m a huge fan of Oura, and it’s arguably the best sleep tracker out there. With the latest update, you can auto-complete intentions based on your sleep, readiness, and activity scores!

May you sleep well!

Thus: Tiny FALLBACKS! My favorite feature yet. If you have a fallback for an intention, you can't skip it, but replace it with the fallback instead.

Now you can still "keep the habit alive" and make a vote for the kind of person you want to be, even when life gets in the way.

[Welf @_welf]
