    Productive: Maps, check the stock market, read non fiction/Wikipedia, pay bills, translate voice or text written in a foreign language, use as a bike computer or GPS tracker, hail a ride/taxi, rent a bike, communicate with people.

    Fun: Read books/comics, amateur photography/videography, puzzles, listen to music.

    Purposefully left out apps that cause doomscrolling and addiction.

      pay bills

      I don’t trust the phone browser anymore after I had it crash during a payment. The money was sent, but the token wasn’t sent back to the website.
      Thankfully we now have instant bank transfers, so the state of the browser doesn’t matter.

      Anyway, I still prefer to take out the laptop for serious stuff like payments.

      Yes, addiction is not fun. Reddit is not fun and neither is using drugs.

    Duolingo.

    Call your politicians. Try call5.org.

    Maybe the daily puzzle games are productive.?

    Audit your pics/videos if you don’t keep up with them and delete the ones you don’t need. I’ve been trying to trim them all down to free up storage space and then eventually back them up locally to a hard drive.

    All of you who have commented until now - LIARS!

    I know all of you dimwits are looking at naked people on your phone. That’s your fun thing & then you produce “things” out of your body that you wipe off.

    Not saying I don’t do it, but you do it too.

      I look at naked people but I don’t produce anything. I just appreciate the artistic nudity of my favorite characters.
