had an insight into what I'm aiming for in terms of my relationship with technology

I call it living an "analog life"

it doesn't literally mean that the tech I use has to be analog

it means that I'm trying to return to as much of a pre-smartphone existence as possible

more thoughts on this later, but I'm curious how anyone else has tried for this in their own life?

@mimsical Lately I've been listening to music + podcasts on an MP3 player (they still exist!) and, when possible, reading articles on an ebook reader.

It means I have to create my own music collection, and put together articles that I want to read, and then put them on their respective devices.

I like the idea of intentionally choosing what content I am going to consume, instead of just turning on the magic rectangle of distraction and seeing something right away.
