Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport is well worth the read @op btw

You wanna go full unabomber?

what do you do when people in real life ask who your friends are?

This is normal behaviour for the under 30s. You have fallen into the capitalist trap. You have been wired to think like this. You have to find a way to rewire your brain, but it is so very hard. You are basically a robot. Everything is done without you even thinking.

It seriously sucks, but it is so common for young people. Most young people are like this than not. Far more.

My phone stats since making this thread. Yesterday was the longest one bc I've been checking twitter a lot during all that s*** happening in the capitol

I've went back to reading at least 25 pages daily and already managed to finish a book I've been reading since like November

I've managed to get out of bed as soon as I wake up. I lay in bed for a while to get back to reality and then without checking my phone or anything I get out of bed, do 20 pushups and start my day with a coffee and a chapter of a book or by picking first thing of my to-do list

Then I reward myself with checking social media

Gotta admit I feel a lot better mentally

Although classes are back today and staying focused during online lectures is next level pain (actually I'm making this post during one...)

I've been glued to my phone since the pandemic started tbh I'm f***ed

Same. Been on ktt too much. Boutta start buying physical books and go off the grid for a bit
