@twilliability For the past year or so I've been mostly offline two days a week and even on other days only really use the phone for @organicmaps, taking pictures and Signal for comms, but if needed can (have to) switch to SMS. Every other app has mobile data turned off by default[1], which also allows me to stay on the cheapest data plan and increased battery life. It was "hard" in the beginning, but really not for very long at all and I think it quickly helped me deepening my sense of the "Big Here"[1], being more present in the moment/place/experience. It's also a very positive subliminal feeling, knowing I'm leaving a lot less direct data traces whilst out and about...

[1] Sometimes need to temporarily switch to online maps for realtime traffic info/detours, but only doing this very rarely...

The Big Here and Long Now

"Now" is never just a moment. The Long Now is the recognition that the precise moment you're in grows out of the past and is a seed for the future.
