8 May 2021, The curse of computers

I have recently been very much busy with my laptops. Doing stuff with them, experimenting things and trying to find out how to do certain things. This takes quite some time and every day I find myself only being busy with my laptops and nothing else. There are plenty of other things to do and stuff I want to do. I want to do more with plants, my harp and reading. But every day I turn on my laptop and can't get away of it. Recently I got an quite old laptop to do stuff with, to experiment with. I set an up-to-date OS on it and started doing stuff with it. It really doesn't help. Now I am really much busy with my laptops, because there are things I actually do with it. Searching how to do something or trying something. And before I know it is time to sleep, without having done anything I actually want to do.

I want to be busy with plants and music, not with laptops. But still, every day I turn on my laptop and the curse hits me.

Yeah, the only one who can change this is me. But it is very difficult.

I am telling myself to stop an hour before I should sleep to read, but sometimes that becomes half an hour or even less...

I should probably set an alarm for that, but that won't help with doing all that other stuff I want and/or need to do.

It is really bad how much I fill my day with laptops. I don't even 'realize' what season it is...

Computers can be a big curse...
