creating a less busy life

Everyone knows journaling is "good for you" and you "should" do it. But it's hard to find time in our busy, modern lives to sit down and write for even 20 minutes.

So, I created a less busy life. I ditched the smartphone for a dumbphone. I stopped listening to podcasts and music every second of every day. I go outside. I talk to people, face-to-face.

Now, I can journal regularly. And do other things that area good and healthy for me.

I flipped two middle fingers to modern overstimulation and doomscrolling.

Feels pretty good.
