OUR DUM STORY
Hi, I'm Dan and I'm an internet addict. Instagram, Reddit, Netflix. You name it.
​
​A few years ago, I decided I wanted to fix that, so I bought a "dumb" flip phone. But texting was super annoying on it, it had a bad camera, and I couldn't use really useful and essential apps like Uber, Maps, Gmail, Venmo, etc.
​
So I went back to a smart phone, but I wanted to modify it, so that I couldn't waste time on Reddit, Netflix or Instagram. That's when I came up with the Dum Phone system. Over a couple of years, I refined and honed the system.
Now, if I'm using my phone, I'm either communicating with friends, reading a book, taking a course, listening to a podcast, or handling business.
​
I'm never web browsing or using social media. Because I can't.
​
In conversation, I'm more engaged. I'm never scrolling through anything when I'm with other people. And I'm never tempted to do so. When I'm on an adventure, I'm present and in the moment.
​
I think this is a better way. I think we should get off of social media, stop reading click-bait news and stop our tech addiction that's now having a real negative impact on our world.
​
If you'd like to have hours more free time each day, to be more productive, and to leave yourself no choice but to achieve your dreams, I hope you'll find the DUM 1 as useful as I have.
