So many parts in this article reinforced exactly how I feel about the state of things and what I’m doing about it.
No Twitter, no Facebook, never did Instagram or TikTok, no YouTube unless I need to fix something. My one online vice is Lemmy, which is nice because I run out of new content and am forced to do something else like read a book or be productive.
If I’m at dinner with people, phone goes face-down on DND. If I’m in a meeting, close the laptop unless I’m presenting or taking notes. I designate Monday and Friday “concentration says” and keep meetings to an absolute minimum.
It’s done wonders for anxiety and stress. There was a time when the smartphone worked for us, not the other way around. It requires a conscious effort, but it’s totally worth it.
