In keeping with down teching (un-teching, de-techifying....) I got a flip phone. I've moved on from having a smart phone.

I feel like it's incomplete though, since it still runs android. I don't think it should be too much of an issue, the phone still needs an os and it's watered down to just the essentials.

I won't be syncing email or messaging apps though outside of just the standard sms messenger. This will be just a call and text machine as the creators intended.

I want my cell phone experience to be uncomfortable. I don't want it to be convenient. I don't want it to do everything. I just want it to call and text.

This weekend I will be moving completely off of Google.

My gmail accounts will auto reply to contact me at my new email. After 6 months I'll deactivate where I can.

I will export all the content in all my drives and store them on a different service, and locally somewhere in my house.
