Shocking……In other news, sun hot & water wet!
I’m in the process of divesting myself of gadgets, screens and doomscrolling devices.
Carrying around a dumb phone has really opened my eyes to the way my executive function has deteriorated by being able to instantly web search any idea or mental flight of fancy.
This means that all of my positive coping behaviours are impacted, for example journey planning. Being able to push the voice assist button in the car and say navigate to x, means I’m winging all my irregular travel.
The network effect of tech drags me deeper in and causes hyperfixation, like disto hopping but for solution finding, I reckon I’ve tried almost every todo app/system and gadget in existence, todoist to custom sql databases. Spbullet journaling is the best thing that has happened to me in a decade.
I’m trying to figure out how to ditch my smartphone full time but modern life doesn’t really allow it.
