Be intentional with your online presence. We are physical beings in the end.

i have been on a journey to untangle my tasks from my iPhone.
i'd be out in the world someplace, pull out my phone for something as menial as checking the time, or as well intentioned as capturing the moment in a pic, and immediately get sucked into texts and instagram™️ and all the virtual things happening in this tiny lil demon light box.
the goal: pull my phone out of my bag ONLY for phone things. that's texting, calling, and apps that can't be replaced
the solutions so far:
🕰️ i started with a watch (shoutout Casio) and i wear it every day. once I broke the habit of checking my phone for the time, I felt legitimately freed from something Major
📷 I bought a small digital camera to leave in my bag. the pics look better and I don’t get distracted by the virtual world when I'm trying to capture something in the now
📚 I bought a kindle. It fits in my jacket pocket (literally) and gives me something to do when I'm on the train or waiting for an appointment that isn't scrolling
I just realized so much of the time I spent on my phone was not intentional. It was a thing I was doing in between Other intentional moments. my screen time is still several hours a day (don’t get me wrong) but I think my brain has healed at least 3%.
welcoming other ideas as well💡

I’m recommending this as a reminder to myself. To find my worth outside of my phone, within myself. <3

I realized last month that I had basically developed the habit of ALWAYS looking at my phone. Walking around the house, brushing my teeth, eating, etc. I always had my phone out. I’ve removed a lot of social media apps from my phone, which helped, but the biggest game changer for me is just abandoning my phone upstairs or in another room.
Reading a lot more, staying more focused, playing more fetch with my dog, life is good 😎

The pettiness of humans optimised- whether it’s familial feuds or thwarted lovers, sometimes these manifest into these amazing cool houses. I’m obsessed with the stories behind these houses!

Kris (from Naive Weekly)- This defines and maps the landscape of the ‘small’ web. This map highlights the projects and ideas that shape it. The result is a beautifully crafted site that offers a visual taxonomy of different ‘types of websites,’ along with a wealth of links to fascinating, personal, and often arcane corners of the internet.
These digital spaces are curated by strangers who simply enjoy creating and experimenting online. Have a click around and see where it takes you.
Personally, I’m drawn to the feral web this year; it feels fitting.

Been following since 2021 and recently each post reminds me of morning train commutes in London. I have started missing foggy platforms and the excited conversations of parents pointing out skyline monuments to their children as they enter the city centre.
Ugh I miss the big city during term time🤲
