  "textContent": "I’m glad that works for you, but I wouldn’t want to be without my GrapheneOS Pixel 9a as a tool anymore. A few years ago, I also realized that I was always letting my smartphone distract me when I wanted to be productive or more active. I came to the conclusion that it wasn’t the smartphone’s fault but rather my own choices, and I started setting up my phone to be a practical tool for everyday life without distracting me all the time. I also thought about going the route of using an MP3 player + paper notebook + paper calendar, etc., but I quickly realized that would be too stressful for me in the long run, and I know for a fact that I’d eventually lose the calendar or notebook and wouldn’t be able to just restore a backup. Also having a camera/flashlight/stopwatch in the few situations I unexpectedly need one, without having to always carry a camera/flashlight/watch, is quite nice.",
