I'm a Japanese Language Teacher and I tell the exact thing to my students all the time: when I studied the language I had to carry in my backpack a couple of dictionaries that weighed a ton, but you have all that you want in your phone! My most used apps are dictionaries and apps to read in other languages. Love how you customised your device!

I have ADHD and Finch is one of my favourite apps ever. It has honestly revolutionized my self-care game and helps with executive function!

I’m a new subscriber and I love this video! I just got an iPhone 15. I love the esthetic of your phone, especially your backgrounds. Were those part of the pack you bought on Etsy? You really have dialed in on the work focus. To set that up seems so overwhelming for me but I love that you included that in this video. Such a great video!

I really should figure out how to add cute icons, yours look amazing 🥰

Wow Caitlin, some of your recommendations here are invaluable to the neurodivergent community! Those NFC stickers are definitely something that will help me a bunch, and that greyscale screen will help my sensory overload! My current phones screen is just all black, and while that helps a lot, it is a boring.

Some of my fave apps that aren't social media related are:

A date calculator: I originally thought I'd only use this to help me with managing my budget and figure out when I'll need to buy my medications next (something I always used to forget and be scrambling with last minute!), but I actually use this all of the time!

A countdown timer: this helps me to make sure I buy gifts in time for birthdays, etc, and it also helps me to know how long I've got left to read my library books.

I know this is technically a social media app (but most people don't think of it that way), but I love going on Reddit. I l mostly use it for connecting with the bujo and reading subs, plus the ones relevant to my dog, so for me I use this more as a hobby and educational/advice app.

My most used app is probably audible though. It's my fave way to read and I use it as white noise when I'm trying to sleep.

I also use widgets for the weather and sleep tracking, because if they aren't in my face I never remember to check. I then add the info into my bujo.

I’ve heard my friends using too good to go in Hamilton as well!

[laurenp]

UMMM clearly I have no idea to use my phone. Haha. Loved this video!!! More of this type of content!!!!

[annasfernweh]

Your enthusiastic talk about technology and successful attempt to make it all aesthetic are great ⚜️✨😍

[Rennie-oh]

When you replace your phone case you should get a clear case and decorate it like you do with your eReaders!

I love you Apple Watch band where did you get It please?

[evewithwonder]

I absolutely hate the red bubbles. I have them deactivated completely in my Android phone to avoid anxiety 😅

Now, the work mode is not something I think Android has and it would be so good! I already do something similar with my computer. I have one user profile that is exclusively for work, and then I have another one with my games and all my personal stuff. It's very helpful for staying focused.

This is so fun! I love seeing what people have on their phones. I love how adding the icons makes the apps less over stimulating
