Hi there,
It doesn’t take a genius to get off social media, get a flip phone, and become a self-proclaimed digital minimalist.
I have done it too. It’s the easiest part, really.
Then, what?
And this is the best, most fun part. The unknown, the uncharted territory, the adventure of a lifetime waiting for you to choose it. Because once you decide, having it is easy.
The best kept secret of our current times is that, and I had to go on my own journey to find out, it is that you can live, and live very well, have lots of fun, feel amazing without much of the digital taking up space in your life.
In fact, I am certain I live well because I’m mostly offline. It doesn’t take a genius to live well, have lots of fun, feel amazing either, just your decision. Because once you decide, having it is easy.
With that said…

Foster community, educate, have fun.
Some theft involved.
“It’s either writing a zine or yelling in a street corner.”

P.s. When you purchase time spent offline, the zine, which I created completely offline, you support my writing here and there, of course, so thank you a bunch. But most importantly, you support the idea that it is still possible to create, connect, and share, and live, offline.
That’s all for this week!
Thank you for reading, and share with anyone you think may benefit.

Love this idea! I recently got a typewriter from a thrift store and have been wondering what to do with it - this might be the most interesting use I've seen so far
