I miss the time when I didn't have Internet connection, mobile phone, and had no one to distract me for 8 hours per day. I didn't have anything important to work on since I was a kid, but I remember I was able to concentrate on things for much longer and it was more enjoyable. I didn't have to exert any will power since I didn't have a lot of alternatives with regards to what to do with the computer and that simple stuff I was doing was providing enough of dopamine to keep me hooked. After reflecting back on that time, I'm starting to appreciate good old printed books, simple audio player that isn't connected to any kind of streaming service, offline documentation for libraries that make it possible to do some work without internet. There is something special about those hours of disconnect.
