#1047 - Jonathan Swanson - The Obvious Strategy to Take Back Your Time

make phone calls but i don't have email i don't have all my messaging apps i don't have all the bad things and i actually have gone so far that i've banned all news sites checking the price of crypto all sorts of other stuff um and my wife has the code so i literally can't unlock it so this freedom phone i call is what i take out of the house with me and it's got the stuff i need

and everything else is totally locked down.

#1047 - Jonathan Swanson - The Obvious Strategy to Take Back Your Time

Modern Wisdom

Modern Wisdom

Modern Wisdom
#1047 - Jonathan Swanson - The Obvious Strategy to Take Back Your Time

Modern Wisdom
#1047 - Jonathan Swanson - The Obvious Strategy to Take Back Your Time

Modern Wisdom
#1047 - Jonathan Swanson - The Obvious Strategy to Take Back Your Time

That's desperate times.

Modern Wisdom
#1047 - Jonathan Swanson - The Obvious Strategy to Take Back Your Time
