less screen time, more life time?
i've been feeling for quite a while that having no screen time would benefit me a lot. however, many things we do depend on having a sort of connection to our screens, which is quite bothering to be honest. we are expected to be available there, it's the norm. i experienced something profound last year when i put myself through a break. it felt freeing and it was clear my mind got sharp and clearer. quitting all social medias should be the beginning. and then there's also the de-google kinda phase that feels more complex. what about those dumb phones? i searched it right now and it feels tempting but also how can we shift back to something like this once we have experienced having a whole wide world in our pocket...those tiny devices have all options in there, the comfort it gives is astounding. It's like I'm either on the verge of going insane or actually onto something. i don't demonize phones but doesn't it look amazing to think of a life with my time on it shrinked to the point that life feels all I do, all I truly engage with. There is much to ponder, decisions to make, paths to walk on... where will they take me? Balance. Knowing we use our phones to manage certain things but they do not represent our entire lives. There is no going back to the time when we had no phones, but moving forward is about mastering how we use them and how much time we spend on them damn screens. Reclaim your life. #personal thoughts
