About
I started whatifididnt in 2023 after noticing how much of my time and attention my phone swallowed.
I tried small changes like tweaking my iPhone's settings. Then I started testing apps, dumb phones, lock boxes, and whatever else I came across while searching for solutions.
This site is where I share what’s worked, what hasn’t, and what I’m still trying.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have it all figured out. I still slip into old habits and waste hours scrolling. But each experiment gets me closer to living on my own terms with more focus, more presence, and more clarity.
If you’re curious about dumb phones or want ideas to spend less time glued to a screen, you’ll probably find something here that helps.
Thanks for being here. ~Ben
