Hi there,

New hobby just dropped: Buying discounted albums and $0.69 songs on iTunes. If you can’t afford a house, you can always own your music collection. He he (RIP).

Five things to share:

  1. I recently bought an analog alarm clock in a desperate attempt to fix my sleep schedule. "Did it wake you up?" I asked innocently; "It woke the neighbors up," he responded. I was happy it worked. I no longer have an excuse to bring my phone to bed. In praise of tech-free sleep

    tech-free sleep

  2. I recently found out you need to prune tomato plants to help the fruits grow. I looked up how to prune tomato plants on YouTube and my tomato plants are thriving. The Internet can be so damn useful sometimes.

  3. A quote I want to share with you:

    Do the best you can until you know better, then when you know better, do better.

    — Maya Angelou

    I think about this quote often.

  4. Why sleep is important and How Electronics Affect Sleep

  5. A challenge for you this week: Make your sleep tech-free. Write me if you hate it.


It was so nice to hear from you how you spend your time offline last week. I feel part of a small revolution, we all unplugging in our own ways, taking back our time and attention from the digital hellscape. Keep going! I have picked Tatenda for the I Unplug To Mug from NDU:

“I spend my offline time gardening usually. I still live with my mom having just graduated high school, so I help her out in the yard.”
“I planted a pollinator garden near our garage, then in the back we've dug out two medium sized beds that grow all sorts of flowers and vegetables.”

That’s all for this week!

Thank you for reading, and please share with anyone you think may benefit.
