To a specific hour and a half daily. 45 mins after getting up and 45 mins before going to bed.

I discovered Nicholas Carr’s work in 2020 and respect his takes on technology:

I was nursing my mom at the time I found Carr’s work. She left us a year later. Now I am finally ready to move on and now that there is absolutely nothing positive to follow in a world where Musk, Ramaswamy and Trump are breaking things daily, I can safely tune out the world. Or else the phone becomes an instrument not just of distraction and time wastage but also of terror.

I’ll still pop on to DU twice daily to commiserate with all the other lefties here, but that is it.

All the best to you xanaDUer2 .

Next day edit: it’s still a work in progress building structure into my life. In my defense, I had two wisdom teeth extracted and it is hurting so I got to break my self set rules one last time!
