I believe the foundations of a peaceful, productive and full life are composed of a combination of [[Loops|habits]] and [[Boundaries|boundaries]].
Below are the ones I set to myself.
<div class='blue box'>The following decisions go hand in hand with [[The Slot Philosophy]], which is my main approach to [[Self improvement]]</div>
- from 2013, stop playing any videogame and stop installing any game app on my mobile
- from June 2016, turning off all push notifications, except alarms and reminders * you do not actually miss any message * you can leave internet and everything turned on, nothing will distract you unless really important and worth your immediate attention
- from 9th November 2020, never use my laptop while in bed, except to watch movies
- by the end of 2020, stop sending voice notes longer than 45 seconds * Either write or call. * communications become stressful: if I record long audios, obviously I need to listen to them… and they pile up. This is not good nor healthy.
- by the end of 2020, quit Social Media
- since 16 November 2021, do not watch more than a TV series episode a day — a.k.a. prevent binge-watching
