I haven't used IRC for 20 years (⁠•⁠‿⁠•⁠)

But... overwhelmed by ...having phone in the pocket instantly ready to check for anything that comes to my mind...addicted to news check...reading newsletters (now tried to remove some to rss reader)...posting photos on different photo sites including ig, tumblr, blogs, flickr etc..when i shoot i want to share but it draws me back online...but everything' seems to attract, information that i dont know...this habit... or mindset

---

I have been reading Cal Newport blog about Digital minimalism, also his book..i agree...i tried...many times, but worked for some time until I was back to...online

It is about will, discipline, habits, deeper change of values, interests...

I even tried dumb phones twice, but after 7 months i realized this is not so convenient for many daily things...

I tried a Nokia 3310 (new model) a couple years back, but it didn't take my SIM, and I was lazy, so I sent it back. Haha.

I used to subscribe to Cal Newport's blog back in the day. He has good things to say about "digital minimalism", as he calls it (social media avoidance), but I unsubscribed some time back.

Come visit #ctrl-c IRC! Good crowd there! :)
