It’s the first morning in a few days which wasn’t overcast.
As winter approaches the moon flips on it’s back. Waning Crescent is the proper astronomical term.
Sometimes you have to break away from tech. I used to sit in front of my computer before I went to work in the mornings. Then I decided “let’s skip today”. Which turned into I don’t sit in front of my computer in the mornings.
Am I missing out on some free time where I could be productive? Perhaps.
Do I have to compress each available second of time into a hobby or a passion project?
I don’t think I should.
Sometimes it is good to do nothing. Keep it super simple. Drop the phone somewhere. Set it to silent for a few minutes. Or an hour. Technology is really good. It has a lot of applications. Good and bad. But what did we do before the internet? What did we read before newsletters? What did we listen to before podcasts?
Many of us grew up without the internet to guide us in our formative years. We turned out alright. We didn’t spend hours with a phone glued to our hands. Time away from tech should be an important thing for anyone trying to get away from the fast paced rush of modern life.
Thanks for reading : )
