Margaret Qualley utilizes two mobile phones to maintain a balanced relationship with technology. One phone is for essential tasks like texting and navigation, while the other is solely for social media access through WiFi. This strategy helps her avoid distractions and remain engaged in her surroundings. Qualley likens cell phone usage to smoking, advocating for reduced phone engagement. She aims to listen to people and immerse herself in the present moment while being less likely to scroll on her phone during routine activities.
"Cell phones are like cigarettes. I'm a big fan of airplane mode. Because opening your phone is also like going to work, you know? I don't have any apps on my phone except Uber, texting, and Maps."
"I'm just there, listening to people's conversations. And I feel more immersed in my life."
"I have another phone at home that doesn't have cellphone service - it just has WiFi, and I can look at Instagram. We are all definitely too plugged in."
