Digital Minimalism

Welcome to the community of so-called Digital Minimalists! We're community of people who seek for silence in such a noisy world and balance between real and digital worlds. Rules of this community include:

  1. Be honest with yourself and others. Seriously, if you're not honest with yourself and pretend to be someone else, you're not going anywhere. The first step to progression is acceptance, isn't it?
  2. Be polite to others and respects each others opinions. No matter what your thoughts about privacy, Big Tech, politics, nature and etc are, let's keep all discussions family-friendly and not overwhelm ourselves.
  3. Keep it theme-oriented. This community is not made to discuss politics, privacy-issues and climate change. It's about balance and harmony. We could discuss those topics if they are related to Digital Minimalism, but not if they're purely self-oriented. Thank you :)

I started doing this for a few hours before lunch to extend my battery life, but found that it actually improved my attention and productivity. I also made better choices from my less distracted state, in particular deciding I could skip an unhealthy snack etc.

This is actually not a bad idea at all. Although no hope for skipping unhealthy snacks.

I use chewing gum to minimise the snacks.

I tried, but the amount of chewing gums I can, well, chew escapes reality. Seriously, I thing I could get addicted.

Fair. I have forgetfulness on my side so once I've disposed of one chewing gum I seem to be okay.

I turn off my phone whatever I attend a concert. I won't record a video I'll never watch anyway
