5 months of No News.
« on: March 06, 2025, 02:33:50 PM »
I just finished removing myself from the news for 5 months (online, tv, podcast, youtube, etc). MAJOR improvement in life. 

I am amazed at how much more time I have.  I think I was a doom scroller and didn't realize it.  Now I spend more time planning things with a clear mind (finance, food, etc).  I don't know why, but I also have spent less money (!)

My advice: the first day is the hardest, then the first month is.  After that, I feel like I could easily do this for a year.  My crazy goal is to do it for 4 years.

Nice work here!

I've been stepping away recently in general from my phone - down to 5GB data for a month so I can do this.

5 months is impressive.

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
