Offline activity suggestion: try to go as long as it's possible/safe for you without looking at your GPS, next time you're going somewhere. Or, easier mode: try navigating using a physical map and not your phone.

Whoops, already missed the first month 🫠 I'd like to say it's because I was very offline, but that only applied to the first half of February for me, alas.

Use this post for things that for whatever reason you feel don't warrant their own post, like:

• small vents about how every bar know wants you to scan a QR code for the drink list
• quick questions/requests for recs
• all barely on-topic chit chat

I've managed to do less mindless scrolling and instead spent more of my time watching videos and reading articles for research purposes. But I still spend too much time scrolling and getting angry over stupid discourse and the current politics...

One big improvement I've done in terms of my creativity is that I started writing on my notebook. I can't seem to do creative writing online anymore. Too many distractions and I'm just unable to create. I've picked up a habit of going to my local bar with my notebook and I've really enjoyed it. I think I also might have to leave the house in order for me to pick up reading again. Luckily I have a very nice library nearby.

I also recently unsubscribed from multiple streaming services. I decided I'd rather to spend my money on going to cinemas,concerts,museums, and theater.

having an all-purpose analog planner has also helped me immensely. i get less distracted and i think it helps clear my head more than using my laptop.
