This week, I began living with less technology. One way I did this, was to make analog stuff fun. Since I am quite an 'artsy' person, I did this by binding my own notebooks by hand instead of buying them from the store. This also means I can control how many pages, what type of paper and the cover much more easily. Today, I woke up very late since I am on holiday, but, I still read a book after waking up for 1h with no music. Then, I talked to my friends irl. It is midday and I'm about to go visit my sister. Tips: If you find reading books boring, get physical copies and annotate them. If you are just starting, using a little bit of social media may help, so it not a sudden cutoff, just be sure to set timers. Hank Green's 'Focus Friend' app has really helped me stay off my phone.

This week I did a good amount of writing and exercise. In my downtime, I sketched, meditated some, and did work around the house (cleaning, fixing appliances, gardening) while I listened to an audiobook. If anyone's looking for something to listen to while doing menial stuff, I highly recommend The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson. It's an unbelievable work of fantasy with a hint of philosophy. Journey before Destination is my new favorite book quote. I did, however, doomscroll for around 4 hours in total. It is one hour fewer than last week, which is progress that I think I'm okay with. My goal this week is to try and keep daily phone use under 3 hours and doomscrolling under 3 hours as well. Enjoy the week folks! -Chello
