Jul. 6th, 2022 09:14 pmLooking forward to getting away from it all for a couple days this weekend. Just me, my wife, and simple cabin by a river. Sounds like just the sort of thing we both need.
I continue to life log. This includes a daily selfie, twice daily Mastodon posts, using the app Metriport, and ideally posting something longer form each day here. Still working on consistency, but overall I am impressed with performance thus far.
A big part of this is to build new habits. Between getting married, the pandemic, buying a house, and getting a dog its been difficult to have any kind of routine. These small digital steps are just the beginning of figuring out how to normalize the incredible amount of change I have had in a short period of time.
The main issue to balance is a growing desire to be less connected. Certainly I have always believe technology has its place, but in resent years I have become rather disillusioned.
Tonight, I decided I'll start leaving my personal phone at home and forward my calls to my work cell each day. I don't like carrying one phone, never mind two. I also downsized my work bag to a messenger not even a quarter the size of my old backpack.
The plan tomorrow is to bring none of my personal tech except my fitness tracker. Further, I plan to only use work tech for work tasks. I will be bringing a note pad and a book for down time.
