The Aspirational Homescreen

This is from a question from Note to Self, which asked its listeners to describe their relationships with their phones. 

My phone (or at least its homescreen) is an aspirational anchor. It belongs to this parallel-universe version of myself, someone who does not compulsively check Facebook or Twitter, who blogs regularly (about interesting stuff from curated sources), and who has a lot of interesting thoughts that need to be noted down right away (in Evernote). 

In reality, it's a struggle uninstalling Facebook, then installing it again. But I want to keep trying.
