I need a new phone and there’s too much to choose from: overcoming ‘overchoice’

August 08 2020

I’ve been using the phone I have for nearly four years now and it’s showing true signs that it’s nearing the end of its life. I’m a marine ecologist so I’ve taken it out to sea several times. It’s also seen more than the fair share of being accidentally thrown onto the floor or being knocked out of my hand. Still, I’m so used to this phone. When it’s not just suddenly and unexpectedly dying (even when they battery is full) or when the screen freezes, it works brilliantly. Also, I have all my apps organised on the Home screen exactly as I need. I’m so used to its weight and size dimensions too and I like how it’s just the right size for my tiny, yet stubby hands.
