Ah! the internet is always there.... i activated freedom on my desktop and smartphone to block all my internet from 9 pm onward and i feel like i'm getting my life back ! sometimes i just go crazy online between 8:30 (when my kids go to sleep) and 9, but then i'm kicked off and i breath a sigh of relief and i go do something. like cal newport says, you need to replace your internet time with something else. i've been taking up crafts like embroidery.. also journaling more and reading more. take care and be well. i'm on that struggle bus with you....
Unplugged evenings sounds so peaceful! I've been trying out the phone foyer method after the post you shared, and it's been great. This whole newsletter came about after I read Newport's idea on cultivating high-quality leisure in his book Digital Minimalism!! I was trapped in a cycle of off/online prior to that. I'm currently obsessed with his podcast Deep Questions.
Thank you, to know I'm not alone makes all the difference ♡
I started to deepen my friendships about half a year ago and when I join a group for a hobby, I am always all in. In November, I started a long-term travel and before that I managed to spend some quality time with my loved-ones before leaving. Also, I had the type of goodbye's that I wanted to have. It was the experience, when I noticed how much they also care about me. Now I am 8000 kilometers away, but I feel more loved than often when I lived in the same city as my friends. It is the power of having few but real connections.
