I Used a Minimalist Phone for 1 Year (My Honest Thoughts) // A little over a year ago, I decided to try something I had been curious about for a long time: using a minimalist phone as my main phone.
I wanted to see whether changing the device itself could help me use technology in a more intentional way. I was not trying to completely disconnect from modern life, and I was not dealing with extreme phone addiction either. I just noticed that my smartphone was taking a little more of my attention than I wanted, especially during those small moments when I would pick it up without really needing to.
What started as a short experiment ended up lasting much longer than I expected.
In this video, I share what it was actually like to use the Mudita Kompakt over a full year, once the novelty had disappeared and it had become part of normal everyday life. I talk about the setup I used, what worked well, what became frustrating over time, and how the experience changed the way I think about smartphones in general.
This video is sponsored by Mudita, but the opinions and experiences I share are my own, including the parts that did not work perfectly.
